Somehow I had a glance to see her on iBee, to understand that this is probably the most difficult in the world :) Benzinka was very similar to the very top. But she could not, apparently, Switzerland, famous for the world's best chronographs, make a simple petrol lighter.

With a beautiful acquisition! Zazhgesh - tell :)

PS Lighter 20-year issue - it certainly is cool! Admired even when viewing.

Thank you =) that's why I started to collect them! Incredibly complex design for lighter, more complex, and I do not know nevidel. And the company is based in a very long time in 1883, while the lighter was produced from 1913 to 1964. So everything vintage, and moreover what year, here for example the very first in 1920, and it is 90 years lighter! not a joke, Zippo still in draft nebylo! though they are relatively expensive, let's say not cheap, but they cost money paid for them. It is true they are right now, I think it is not very aesthetically pleasing look as not been cleaned and polished, when they come to me naturally otmoyu well, napoliruyu'll do much better photos, but these will erase. So I started collecting Thorens, Pokhara they me with its beauty and its mechanism.

Well, actually great! Zippo I like the fact that struck the wheel, there was a wick and do not keep more of the wheel, as the cheap gas lighter, but here such a mechanism, and even a hundred years ago, almost invented! seriously!

that way :) I hiccupped and could find no other lighters and not Zippo namely very complicated construction as opening and ignition, it is important for me, year of production, such as that in the 1920 Zippo simply not present, and in 1930 Zippo's incredibly hard to afford priobreti.Da and this firm is also not simple and no worse than a Zippo made in quality

If this lighter than memorable for you, then do not sell it ... As time passes, you comprehend a lot different, and it will become even more expensive for you as light, good memories ...

And all the others that you want to sell 1 ruble - better to give to friends ... They'll just say thank you, and you will be even more enjoyable, that perhaps this lighter, donated by you, someone will make a collector ...))) Good deeds do not go completely ... Good always comes back ...

Here are today literally 10 minutes ago disassemble and reassemble your Thorens! Though a bit stunned by the form of details, the more complex design, I just do not know :)) to yet I could not unscrew the three parts, probably baked onto (and age of 90 years has had an effect. Overall look at the photo that turned out, disassemble 5-7 minutes collecting about 15 minutes, got great pleasure from the process :) This post photos, who can then it will be interesting ;)

Thank you! Here I was engaged in collecting such a rarity :) Pete during disassembly and assembly I ponil fact that it is very reliable, but it seems to look out for a large amount of detail that is not reliable at all, there can be any part of the twist, as no rivets, all rests on the bolt and carvings and even can replace everything if necessary. In those days, very solidly made, and for centuries, now with that kind of thing I can say is that in the literal sense of "The Age" =)
