Great lighter collection you have. Very smart storage solution you found! I've collected a few over the years, but much smaller collection than yours. Would you consider making a vid going over some of your favourite table lighters in more detail? Thanks for sharing.

It's amazing how old lighters can clean up. I found an old Ronson on the bottom of a creek magnet fishing and managed to get it working with some new parts. The middle is super rusted and pitted, but not all the way through so I'm gonna make a leather wrap for it.

How about the high end stuff? Dunhill, DuPont, Cartier. Here in Europe the prices on private sale sites can be very attractive (a used Dupont is easy get for 200-300€), but the problem is that these lighters always require custom parts if broken.

High end lighters are great, but my collection is more mid-grade. I've purchased most of them from local flea markets for about $5. I don't see very many high end lighters there, and if I do, they are usually way overpriced with no warranty.

That's crazy that the cheapest ones can sell for $3-$5 the very minimum any lighter like that should go for is about $10, it's just crazy to me but I Guess that's just how it is, crazy that something made of significantly better materials and quality and is also made to last can be worth the same as those throwaway plastic lighter you see sold everywhere, how is that possible. 😂

I have 2 old flat lighters from the 90s, both camel cigs with the same graphic. One says crown, and one says penguin, below the thumb presser. Are those brands? Both say Japan. My collection is just a handful of camel lighters from the 90s, those clicker butane soft pack ones, a couple hard pack flip open ones, a butane zippo style camel lights(my brand), and a few actual zippos. I just found them after several years!

Great question, I was at a little junk shop, and I found a beat up Ronson Standard in a bowl with other junk, I hadn't seen any vintage lighters before and the guy only wanted $5, so I bought it. When I got home I took it apart, cleaned it up, put it all back together with a new flint and fuel and it fired right up. I thought that was pretty cool so I've been doing it off and on ever since. It's never too late to start.

What would you say it's the best brand of lighters? I'm starting to collect some, I find IMCO really reliable and pretty in a way Edit: 6:50 OMG THAT IMCO 6900 GUNLITE!!!! now I need one, thanks hahah

The 'best' brand is very subjective, I'd say most brands have a range of quality and style, common to rare, and basically worthless to extremely valuable, and condition is a factor at Every level. I'd say buy the lighters that get you excited! Unless you want to be overwhelmed by lighters (like me) go for quality over quantity. Good luck and post some videos of your progress!
