Bought off ebay and I can’t find anything about it online. Would be interested in getting it restored and working. If anyone has any knowledge please let me know

Can anyone help me identify the lighter that robert de niro is seen using here in the movie Casino? My thought is that it’s Cartier Les Must oval but I cannot find an exact image match.

I have seen more and more people on tiktok selling generated lighters

The other day I found this lighter at a garage sale for 2 dollars, normally I stick to lighter fluid, but a Ronson for 2 dollars is hard to pass up. I know it’s butane, and I believe it’s a Varatronic, but I cannot for the life of me get it to fill, and was wondering if anybody knew what adapter I use

I recently bought a hadson triumph at a second hand market but once I filled it with. Butane the flame is really unpredictable and I can't seem to adjust it. The wheel to adjust the flame is also really loose and just keeps spinning without any resistance. I hope anybody knows what's wrong with it and how to fix it.

Hi everyone,
I recently got offered a Myon lighter but every time I try to refill it with butane gas, the gas seems to escape right away by the gas valve chamber.

I tried purging it from any sort of air inside but it still won’t work and I have no idea how to get it working.

I have attached a picture of the lighter and the gas adapter I’m using as I believe it to be the probable cause of the issue at this point.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!

I was always told no by my mom but yesterday my dad asked me to borrow my butane to fill up a bic and he did and it worked? So can you?? And my question also extends to other lighters not bic branded. But lighters like bics

Additional photos below! Acquired this lovely little chrome Apollo KK lighter recently from an estate sale and was thrilled to find that it had not only never been struck but it even had the original box and paper sleeve wrapped around it and the cotton was still good to go as well. I simply brushed a little bit of corrosion off of the flint wheel and that was that.

I filled it up and then added a Kiribi flint and waited a couple hours and it lit immediately! This video here is only the second or third time actually striking it at all. I have since used a gentle nylon brush to clean in between the crevices and polished it with a jeweler's cloth and it is looking oh so fine and fresh. Best $12 I've spent in a while.

I recently bought a fake/knockoff zippo lighter and it has J.M28 on the base. Wonder If anyone knew what could mean

I don’t know anything about vintage or collectible lighters but I got this at a thrift store a while back and forgot I had it. Found it again recently and thought all the lighter geeks might know more and appreciate this.

I was messing around with it and it wouldn’t light so I did some surface level searching and it most likely needs lighter fluid as it still sparks. Was looking for some and apparently it’s vintage (all according to the google “AI” thing so take it with a grain of salt). It’s in really good condition and I always thought it was newer so I’m pleasantly surprised.

Side-note, anyone know what fluid works with these or where one can get replacement flints?

This is a neat one. A heavily used Barlow (Zippo copy) from right around 1950. Both the case and insert are chrome-plated brass, which is very nice. Even Zippos don’t have brass inserts. It’s the exact same size and spec as a Zippo. The cases and inserts are interchangeable, BUT! it does not have that beautiful Zippo “clink.”

This was covered in sticker adhesive and badly bent and dented when I started (I REALLY need to learn to take “before” pictures).

I had to re shape the case, insert, and chimney to get it back to spec. The hinge pin was worn away and the hinge barrels were bent out of shape. I ended up making a new hinge pin out of brass and reshaping the hinge barrels back to round.
I re-packed the insert with a new wick and cotton/rayon wadding.

It advertises Shaker Tool and Die Co with the telephone number “Brooklyn I-5300” which helps narrow down the manufacturer date to 1950 or so as that is about the time Ohio discontinued using the four digit telephone numbers. Barlow made this style of lighter from 1950-1970.

Rose gold Armour. Just finished my first cigarette. Better than I expected.

I presume it is real, since all "tale tale" signs seem to point to it being authentic.

Was a gift trying to find replacement parts.

For some context I’m trying to look for a vintage lighter that is similar to my great grandfather’s, I was trying to get the original looking right to give to my father as a gift but I accidentally snapped the hinge and no matter how hard I try to search on google I can’t seem to find it.
The description of the lighter:

1. It’s a zippo style lighter but with no brand markings on the case
2. It had a ceramic..? front and back

3. The design on the front was an image of a cartoon lady falling out of the shower or a bath

4. Again it’s a really old lighter and I was wondering if anyone would be able to send a link and direct me to where I can find a replacement.

5. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Edit: More information that I can remember is that the again ceramic..? coating in only front and back and not the sides has a yellowing color, no idea if that’s how it’s supposed to look or it’s most likely just age. But the cartoon lady on the front is a suggestive image and from what I remember the lady had short brown hair and I think she was wearing a bikini which is an odd choice for shower attire but I hope this adds helpful information.

I’ll try it invent a water cooled lighter patent using this clipper as my test model maybe i can reduce heat generated so it can keep going even when the plastic is melting off so the lighter can keep on going for extra time I was inspired by the tubes at the end of the Lmg/08/15 or the maxim mg

Guy at the store did it- I did it once- now it won’t refill at all. Flame turned to lowest setting, burped a million times, thing won’t light at all. No hissing noise but obviously there’s nothing in it right now. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

Anything I can buy online to attach? Open to cases but would prefer an attachment to prevent accidentally pushing the button. The thing is gonna be flying around it my purse and could easily ignite, but I like to so much (just because it says boom lmao)

Hey lads, since i was a kid i was always obsessed with zippo lighters and i recently came across a cool ass looking lighter on pinterest and i really want to make my own version of it, does anyone know exactly what i would need (tools and base) and what i need to do to make the letters like this and this burnt like effect on the casing ?

EDIT: this picture is from pinterest, i DO smoke , wich is why i want to make my own that wont say "i dont smoke"
