It’s solid, reliable & most of all the design hasn’t changed from the original back in early 1900’s. Which is to me says that it’s good, otherwise it would have changed. It’s great for everyday use or putting into my collection.

Beautiful lighter and the craftsmanship is outstanding. This makes such a nice edition to my evening pipe ritual. Just because it's manufactured in China doesn't mean it's not top quality. Note that this lighter takes about 20 plus openings to become consistent with lighting since the flint needs to grind down enough to conform to the grinding wheel.

Amazing quality

I can’t compare it to the 1920s version as I don’t have one of those in my collection yet, but I can say that this one is very high quality. The case is very solid, no flex or give anywhere. The telescoping feature is what drew me to it (I smoke a pipe) and that part works great.

Overall I’m pretty impressed. I didn’t know what to expect, but I took a chance because I love that someone has the knowledge and passion for taking on one of the petrol lighter legacies.

You can tell they actually care. They are not just making cheap knock offs, if that’s what you’re thinking.

Take a chance. I think you’ll be impressed, too.
