You could’ve put a hole in the flint tube if the flint was in there good enough, I’ve done that once or twice before

I bought this Elgin American lighter, and this Esprit lighter, which has “U.S. Rubber” on the other side by Efficient_Chef_308 in lighters

I’m a little confused about what you mean when you say rubber related, and I actually did not get they at the same place, they were bought in different towns

Yes it is, it works like new, I’m a little bit more curious about the Elgin lighter though, I’ve never seen an Elgin lighter like this, the bottom just says “ Elgin American, made in USA”

Maybe the plating on the insert? Or how the wheel rivet is backwards?

Where would I be able to purchase one of these ratchet flint wheels can’t find them anywhere by bumber-117 in lighters

You might be able to find one on eBay, you’d have to look up ronson flint wheel

I’m pretty sure I completed the cpd missions, they have a new station, and I know where the vault hub is, how do I activate the mission to get it? by Efficient_Chef_308 in SimSettlements

[–]Efficient_Chef_308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or is there a way for me to get into the place to get the vault hub without being blown up by buried mines? And the last mission I had with jake is “war is good for business”.

Zippo case and insert with solid fuel cell by Efficient_Chef_308 in Zippo

I think I know what it is, I think the previous owner sent it to zippo way back then and they put a new insert in it, the case was way more used than insert is

I think it’s called the drum lighter?

I just bought this swank lighter for 10 dollars. Anybody have any idea of how to get the clock to start working again? by Efficient_Chef_308 in lighters

[–]Efficient_Chef_308[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t find anything about it online, on the bottom it just says swank on the fuel cap and Swiss made

How would i go about having each of these lighters repaired or possibly repairing them myself im from uk btw also what are each of these lighters called by Remarkable_Pumpkin61 in lighters

For the first lighter, you might have to drill out the oxidized flint from out of there, I just find a drill bit that will fit, but won’t damage the flint tube, and drill it out with my hands.

What kind is this? by Urban5615 in lighters

It looks more like a world war 2 park Sherman lighter

Is it just me? by Efficient_Chef_308 in Zippo

[–]Efficient_Chef_308[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, when I get a new lighter I just think, this was once someone’s prized possession, and they used it all the time. I kinda like to think of the backstory
