<p>[QUOTE="CuriousCat, post: 258698, member: 5163"]iF Ya got fuel, the wick is wet, then it could be just a crappy flint, try one from a bic lighter, use another lighter to light your new wick to get it started, and make sure the wick is not pushed away from the spark. if you haven't tried a off-the-shelf flint go Ronsen. Many years ago I had a similar lighter, no name 20's, there were many companies making them all taking advantage of the new smoking era circa WWI, the one you have looks quite an early model, I suspect on the cusp of '20's. Find a good sparky flint and I bet it'll work great.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
