Yeah, right. In the course of the matches were. I will say more - in the USSR "is not in Moscow" matches used for lighting and 80's, if not longer. Lighters were given for birthdays, but rarely use them - there were problems to buy gas, and gasoline is not always available. A gasoline - sold to mid 80's, mostly from Riga. More or less in the course of lighters were in young people - a tribute to the desire to be more "advanced", mainly lenemalerovskie gas. Well, as caste of those who served in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan - Japanese gas "column" on them "Afghans" even their recognized on the street. But it is in Siberia.

This is the paradox - lighters were bought them, but I rarely seen them used on the street.

Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Gas to get it is problematic, at least on the periphery, such as gasoline and not used in almost ... I remember from my childhood, at home lay some gas, and I liked very much in form as the correct cylinder, blue plastic with brass "caps" on the ends - low shot under him was filling valve, and rigidly fixed upper was assembled as in cricket, the mechanism of ignition. Tig in my memory and it did not light never ... In the 80 years my father went to zagranku - that brought out the lighter Japanese, which then used continuously. Interesting, in the form factor of a matchbox, only import that "slimovy", 2 times flatter our own. She spreads (inner half from leaving the outer shell, as in uzkoplenochnyh "spy" cameras), was a piezo igniter. Somewhere "in the annals of" still lying around, most likely ... To her Dad is immediately brought and gas Ronsonovsky like, in large bottles. Our then I would not risk such a charge.

As I recall, the massive "ozazhigalochivanie" people began only with the release on the market of disposable devices of all kinds ... Before that lighters were, if not exotic, it is sufficient rarity. Yes, if you remember, had to endure periods when a match-by coupons purchased ... :-) As smoke.

Gas, when he was (at least five times in my memory) - a small transparent cans a la Ronsnon Multifill 70s and quite tangible cost money. Snapped into the fray, as batteries, tapes, etc., to the cries of "more than one in the hand is not to give!"

Gasoline sold in a transparent plastic bottle of cunning, which breaks if squeeze bottle. One hundred grams, EMNIP.

Gas in the clear I do not remember, probably not caught already, remember ordinary aerozolki such Stoll gray color ... and gasoline butylki of unbreakable plastic - at yes, always had to be careful with them. :-) In every home, such must have been in households. purposes. I remember how much ink stains from time to take his clothes as a kid managed to beat all a thread. And though it was "Petrol Lighter" is written on the appointment was not necessary to apply once. :-)

A imeportnaya lighter (any) thing was incredible status, a sign of man is not easy, "with connections" - is now for such a status should at least appropriate vehicle.

Well, my Dad was a simple man, in general, without showing off. :-) Lighter-it is primarily for convenience had got, I think. All not suffer with matches ...

A one-off - the first time I bought Disposable Cricket was so in 1985. What is the wind got to us - no one knows, but to understand it's just a fight. Of course, after it ran out of gas - I punched her in the valve. And then pushed back the erased flint instead. In cities Pobol and closer to Moscow were workshops where you could put a valve for the ruble in a disposable lighter. There you can fill it - also, I think, for a ruble.

I'm here from the Soviet era odnorazovok not remember, but about the fact that the valve punched people - heard. Workshops sometime in Kuibyshev were likely, but for me this is not true then it is - I in 91, only 12 knocked all our children's dalliance with staschennymi fathers cigarettes held with matches. :-) And with lighters really - had to meet in the streets is very rare, although much interest for some reason did not cause ... Probably every house lay idle, without gas or without chert, were considered very reliable and the gemorno in terms of replenishment of consumables . Much easier for a penny a box of matches at any kiosk to take.

With matches easier - become adept in the field Odon hand hold a burning match so that it blew by. Yes, and they were all full, if that - you can pour yourself a little friend.

So yes, someone from the lighter half is not broken off, and in the box, it is sensitive sypanut - at a ceremony ... :-)

I have a backup to Zippe in the bag is always a box of matches, and not cricket, like many. If we are going to end gasoline unexpectedly - somehow put up to the house and with the matches, but there is nothing to break down and always show how much is left. :-)

The theme of the Zippo in movies.

Movie Usual Suspects, the episode where Verbano Kint (Kevin Spacey) asks agent Kuyan cigarette. Agent receives from a Zippo and long tormented her, trying to open. Drops the lighter on the floor, and the agent has to pick it up myself and give it a light from Kaiser Susa, who portrays cripple Verbano. :)

In general, the film is funny in that part of the plot is tied to the lighter, but not Zippo, and something danhilloobraznym.

Dogonku of matches ... In the light of the Union of childhood, I remember, there was a focus of matches: side grater with box rip off a thin layer, so that the paper is smaller. Was below the USSR o vskie copper "5 cents" and ignited. Once burned - had vygar rubbed his fingers over the coin. For a short time this friction, a few seconds of a finger was white smoke, and   fingers glowed in the dark. Type of white phosphorus in red.

Oh, such a trick as it passed by. :)

We had another trick - had razderbanit multiple filters of cigarettes, three to five pieces, put them neatly side by side on the right for the job object (below is clear - why) and set on fire. And when they start to burn - to pin this "fire" a box of matches, a float, it is desirable that a new float. Of the molten mass burning filter receives a new "float." One option - to make its way on the side of the heel shoes - can be worn loose matches and strike sharply on his heel. Or on the coin. Or what some other subject.

Generally had a lot of matches all the rituals - such as why it was fashionable to strike sharply only on one side of the box, while the other was intact and was called "tselyak." :)

And I do not like it. The question always arises, why Zippo something to burn, if you can burn so. Toad always pressed for Zippo.

Like such. And in the flight track CD with an open tank, I flew that the same instance.)))

Lift up the topic a little bit ..

Revised today, "Saving Private Ryan" - there towards the end of the movie guys ignite explosives wicks 1941 Zippo Black Crackle ...
