24 lighters including a Zippo and some novelty lighters. Donated to the Cigarette Lighter Museum by Francis Meijssen. Also see: www.trashtown.nl

i got an old brass lighter and i wanna get it working
theres no wick sticking out of the top (not sure if there should be)
i put some fluid in the bottom screw bit
the lil turning thing at the top turns really freely (dont know if it should)
i really have no idea how these work and im told there should be a wick... well there isnt erm and the turning thing is kinda loose so i dont know if thats the thing for the flint and i dno where the flint goes either
lol
im a real noob at these lighters always used them cheap ones but this one looks kl so if anyone can help me get it working i'd be grateful thanks in advance...

I'm tired of paying $4 for a 4 oz can of zippo when a quart of standard charcoal lighter costs the same. Will the charcoal lighter fluid work in my zippo?

It is different but what lighter fluid is is called "naptha" also a paint reducer..it is avaialble in quart cans at wal mart,home depot and about any hardware store..cost about 5.00 for a quart of it....I used to burn naptha in my zippos for years and years..way before disposable lighters came along..read under "other applications here" ..

Who cares? A lighter is a lighter...it serves one purpose only and most people dont pay attention to the lighter anyway. So long as it does what its designed to do!
