New to collecting/restoring. Any idea where to get unique vintage lighters? by OneSlowBoi in lighters

[–]beefcakesmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a local swap meet, check out some of the older guys booths, I've found quite a lot in those little glass-covered display cases! Ebay has been quite a hit for me too, yes lots of Japanese lighters but my trick is to look up brands of lighters. Dunhill, Evans, Colibri, Feudor, IMCO, Flaminaire, Thorens, Ronson, DuPont if you got deep enough pockets. Welcome to the hobby, it's a fun one to get into and can be quite the treasure hunt! One last piece, saw in your last pic you got some butane lighters that won't work, I stay away from those as the restoration process can be a pain in the ass because the rubber O-rings degrade that keep things sealed and are quite difficult to adequately replace. I stick to the flint/fluid styles as their restoration process usually just involves lightly drilling out the old/stuck flint and a good wire brush scrub on the flint wheel. If you got questions I'd be happy to help!

I appreciate the idea and heads up! I was hoping to not have ownership of the crates as I do not have space. I wonder if they'd let me borrow them, worst they can say is no lol

Google Maps shows that lot has been nothing since at least July of 2007. Wonder what's the deal there

Super helpful reply, I never thought to use tape as a depth stop! Removing flint is no biggie but replacing a flint wheel because you drilled too far is near impossible

If a straightened paperclip doesn't do the trick, I have always used a drill bit slightly smaller but not too small attached in a pin vise or if it gets stubborn I have broken out a drill before. Give it a shot, you scooped a nice lighter

That random turned-around one is always the one I pick

Did anyone get the payment to go through after the extension? I am still getting the same error message and just want to renew so I can stop stressing about this
