Handmade Trench Lighter WWI WWII Windproof Vintage Kerosene Pipe Lighter and Copper Brass Fuel Bottle, Gift for Men Dad Father Husband Grandparents

I have had this lighter for several months now. I wanted to wait before I submitted a review.I will admit I was really thrown off by the design. I could see guys using parts to build less fancy versions of this on the battlefield. A rifle casing here, a spring there and really, that's about done.This one is a show off compared to those older versions.The brass was bright and shiny, the movement was fluid, and it was fluid tight. I carry this in my pocket with my keys ( which carries the fuel tank; but more on that in a second ) so it gets knocked around by sharp obgects and odd angles. It has never been a problem.I was concerned the hardware would get caught too often, but this thing is a comfort to carry and has never tangled in the keys.I wish I would have rubbed it with a strong varnish or paint remover to help it grab a patina faster but then sometimes the best this are best aged... Now that the coating is worn down it's starting to show a good age in most high traffic spots giving it a great old world look, like it was from another era.And honestly, EVEN if i didn't smoke, I'd buy one of these after seeing it. When someone asks if you have a light and this mini magic show happens before theire eyes... well, they light up almost as bright as their cigarette.I would say I'd buy this again, but honestly, I don't know that my favorite grand kid will have to buy one when they get old enough. And prolly not their grandkid. Unless you abuse this there's not a lot that can break down from normal use.If you purchase one, I hope you have as enjoyable experience as I have.

Well constructed, quality materials. Comes with a separate little cannister you can fill with lighter fluid. The wheel and flint spark well. The wick is not the best quality, but it has not become an issue. When you go to fill it, it will leak / spill, so have something absorbent underneath. Doesn't hold a lot of fuel, but honestly... it lights the first time every time and that has to count for something. Comes with some spare gaskets and flints.

Very solid reproduction of a classic design. Easily ignites, small, protable. Have had no issues with it leaking. Filling it is a little more difficult, as with other lighters.

Lighter works well and the fuel last a long time.My favorite lighter out of the 15 lighters i own.Best and coolest lighter I've ever owned.Fuel canister is a real plus and does not leak.I'll probably order another one.

I would say its a good product overall. The first time I tried to "spark" it with no fuel, the cap or what I would call the snuffer and bracket came loose. The pins that hold it all together popped out. Was quite tedious to reinstall but did manage to make it happen and I needed to adjust a little because of friction of the moving parts. That aside it works as expected.

I would definitely buy again. It’s well made for an excellent price.

This pair is great and work excellent together!! I originally ordered the set for myself, but have a very close friend who just retired who loves lighting his cigarettes with fluid lighters, but forgets to refill them. Perfect solution. I ordered myself another set, filled the lighter and tank (sealed with an O-ring), placed a couple of spare flints under the pad on the lighter's fill hole and it was a perfect gift. Fill from the tank, refill it sometime soon, one spare flint, or used the last; add spares under the pad. He loved his, and I love mine. Standard fuel, flints, and wick; and I am gladly giving extra time for the stainless steel models because I know I will get a high quality product that I will use for a very long time. Also beautiful on display.

I wish I had 10 of these they make the greatest gifts ever. can't believe the price is so good great job. Don't overfill and it works just fine. you will love this lighter .
