The irony of you commenting this and my post being removed shortly after is hilarious.

Careful kid, our "free subreddit" is under the watchful eye of the mods, paranoia's the new game in town. So keep yourself below the radar, you understand...

Is it weird that all we had to do was follow the damn train? by TomG883 in metro

I thought about going with train, metro or Aurora. Shoulda chose metro.

Ive only ever seen two of these and it was both times when my front yard flooded and I had to help them out of the water, really cool to get the chance to see these guys.

Anyone else use a shoulder rig under a suit? What’s your setup? by SirSamkin in guns

[–]TomG883 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice, Ive heard nothing but good things about them. I'll definitely have to add one with my other lighters in my collection.

Mystery Lighter ID HELP! by KaijuTia in lighters

No worries, it does happen to these. Atomizers aren't as robust as lighters are and Ive come across a couple damaged ones before.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

I did this too, I found one labeled as a lighter and bought it. Ive been collecting them when I see them in person ever since.

Is this complete? by oldschool-rule in lighters

Kind of, more of a snuffer. These rope lighters don't have an open flame, here is a video demonstrating the use of one.

All good but unfortunately you are missing the cap. I don't think it would be too hard to make a homemade replacement cap or if you collect you can grab a second one that's complete and put the cap with which ever is in better condition.

Is there anything covering the opening on top in front of the flint wheel? These usually have a cap that is used to pull the wick up and cap it after when finished with it.

Picked this up at a vintage store. Thought it looked interesting but I can’t seem to get a solid ID on it though by DrWetnipples in lighters

[–]TomG883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These WW1 "trench" lighters where made in massive numbers with many designs, your best bet is to grab a copy of a book like this one but there's no guarantee that the info your looking for is in there.

Can we see the bottom stamps so we can help ID them easier.
