True. Moreover, reinforced with wire fuses only appeared probably in the 80s or even 90s. Before that wicks were "in his own way." In Zippo often used special asbestos (non-combustible). They are easily identified by the white color of asbestos impregnation and they are slightly dirty hands. It was also a lot of varieties of conventional cotton wicks.

Interesting topic by the way.
