[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 11423480, member: 301"]Yup, yup , & yup..! The modern Camel, Marlboro, and Smoke Stone versions are modern replica/homages of the original wartime trench lighters, 1980's..... circa....thereabouts...... they made em for many years. I've had 5 , & used to carry one.... until the seal got loose and leaked fluid into my pants pocket.......and it hurt my thigh.....so I stopped using it ! [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/W48AAOSwmhhm8B6y/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] They're cute....but not terribly functional.....as they tended to leak, and are not wind proof ..... and the wick degrades fast... Folks think they are worth more than they should be..... [URL]https://www.etsy.com/ca/market/brass_no_5_lighter?dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F[/URL][/QUOTE]
