The removable one was made to light the stove, before pilot lights. There used to be a ½ inch hole in the bottom, center of the oven that you placed a flame next to to ignite the oven.
@@jaddriscollso no one steals or they'll always have a missing piece. jk, lol. it's so you can light pipes as well. you'd use the bigger part for cigars, cigarettes, candles, ect. For smoking pipes, the smaller detachable piece allows you to control the flame without the lid getting in the way and to reach deeper into the bowl of the pipe.
@@jaddriscollprobably for the same reason that these lighters are decorated and have interesting ways of operation. Part of it is just the novelty, the "wow" and "oh" - effect and being fancy.
The lighter that detaches is most likely so that it can fit into places the larger body cannot, like a candle that is in a jar or glass enclosure. I noticed that the wind guard around the top only covers 3 sides and while this may just be necessary to expose the wick to the spark, I could see this being handy when needing to use the flame while it’s tilted almost upside down - as you would do when lighting a candle like I had mentioned before…or even tilted a bit when you light a pipe perhaps 🤔 This would keep the flame from burning the casing and perhaps leaving those dirty soot marks on your elegant lighter. 🤷♂️ Just my thoughts
I have an old kolibri lighter stamped from west Germany, was able to date it back to the 40s or 50s, I managed to restore it to a functional condition without any idea how lighters work in the slightest, it was my first and only lighter repair/restoration and it made me to happy.
I find a little amusing that mankind perfected the creation of fire with such finesse that this complex and fancy lighters were a mere exercise of engineering and design.
Grandpa's drawers used to be filled with various broken/worn out/"old fashioned" stuff just like this. Most of it went in the trash. Glad you're curating a little slice of the past. Thank you for keeping the flame alight.
Man I love this channel.. I’ve always liked zippos, I have my uncles and he used it in Vietnam.. every single video you post I’m amazing! Great collection and GREAT editing!
I'm still waiting to see that rope knot one in action. it's caught my eye now in at least three of your videos. Awesome work, sweet collection brother ❤
So many different cool designs. It strikes me with awe and leave me with a gasp. I think kids should be shown those old lighters and be awestruck by their creativity and differentness
I think I found a very old lighter from my great-grandfather, and it still works. So my question is, can you find out the age or model from photos? Or how can I get a catalog like the one you have?
Do any of those have asbestos in them? I’m looking to start collecting myself but any with asbestos are ones I’d like to avoid if possible. Thanks in advance mate.
!["Tiny" vintage lighter [1980s] #tiny #lighter #discover](/img/n.gif)
That first one that is lit from a paper cap is pretty cool. I never would have thought of that as a way to ignite the wick.
Cap guns banned for said reason . 😂
-member cap guns?
@ParchedGoat1 so that's what cap guns came from ? To fill the market

REPORT THIS GUY 🥶
The snap from the first lighter is delightful
It uses tape primer, it creates a small explosion when struck.
Ah yes the days of slavery
it sounded like a sneeze
@@ElbynMathews womp womp
@@ElbynMathews ethics were out the window, but they had some cool lighters at least
We need a documentary length video going over your whole collection!
With classic music. Idk why but the whole collection looks so great that now I want one lmao.
I would watch it several times!
Sounds boring
@Keeki549 then don't watch it ret@rd
He needs more short videos for more views and money
I've been loving this dudes content ever since I came across em. Never knew, I had an itch for old lighter content.
Same lol
Me also, this guy has such a beautiful amazing collection of old and fascinating lighter Flammes
born too late to start my own collection, born just in time to enjoy his collection instead
So thue!! lol Its so enjoyable
Oh yeah, definitely a national treasure.
Can we see the lighter that started your collection?
It was a Bic 😅
that one that ignited his neighbour's house ; )
@@dschonsieno that was me
That is a great suggestion. Hopefully they see this.
@@Klikmation stole my idea 💡 😒
The vintage products always kept the arts and aesthetics which survives ages. Look at the small detailing of each of that.
I don’t know why I feel like this but this whole video is beautiful the lighter, music, background, and the voice. Just goes altogether beautifully
You are very romantic 😁
Virgo, right?
The removable one was made to light the stove, before pilot lights. There used to be a ½ inch hole in the bottom, center of the oven that you placed a flame next to to ignite the oven.
Good guess. I remember those stoves.
The japanese balance between intricacy and playfulness is so enjoyable 🫠
That is literally a tourist trinket. That’s like pointing to a dennys grand slam and saying “isn’t American cuisine unique and innovative?”
@@boyznthewoodz770as an american don't disrespect our culture...
@@boyznthewoodz770 It is our culture tho. You can appreciate more about a culture than the most complex products or refined art it produces.
Stop glazing those mfs
@@hmmmhmmm6917 bro had a beef with them 😂
Thank you for always using great music! Such a nice break from modern stuff
The striker lighter looks pretty neat.
The music in this video makes me nostalgic for a time Ive never been to. Such peace
I like how you have all these beautiful antiques and then Yoshi is just amongst them. Truely an icon
I never noticed that. Lol. Suppose his passion for lighters and Yoshi burn with the strongest flames.
Yoshi is truly a timeless icon
sry i didnt mean to dislike
Plot twist: Yoshi's a lighter too
What a beautiful collection you have, I love lighters
ooOOOO the POP on that first one 😩😩😩
Is a nice sound
Older lighters like these are way classy and very cool than newer ones
well there are very good modern lighters but you would pay $100+
"capitalism breeds innovation"
@@candidfob8423 lol I'm sure these were all designed built and handed out for "free" at the commune.
really reminds me why I was so obsessed with collecting lighters as a child.
i just liked fire
still do
What a gorgeous collection
The detachable part of the "Perplex" is for passing it around, for example to everyone at a table.
Why not just... pass the lighter around? It's not that big.
@@jaddriscollso no one steals or they'll always have a missing piece. jk, lol.
it's so you can light pipes as well. you'd use the bigger part for cigars, cigarettes, candles, ect. For smoking pipes, the smaller detachable piece allows you to control the flame without the lid getting in the way and to reach deeper into the bowl of the pipe.
At first I thought there was a little crack pipe built in the lighter. So a detachable fire source would be great for this purpose.

How do I get these
These videos are mesmerising. Thank you. Did not even know so many different models existed in the past. Amazing 😊
The perplex is the coolest lighter I've ever seen
Looks like something you would see in bioshock
But why does it do that? Jump out
@@TheGoslapato reach in a candle I presume
@@Flxvn_clips are u joking Sammy? Or saying that for real
@@TheGoslapa no I’m pretty sure that that is the purpose of the pop out mechanism
The best collection of vintage lighters….I ever seen 😲😲 Great presentation of these heavenly lighters👍👍….well done my’ol mate…indeed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊
I just want to say "your collection of lighters is amazing, I wish I had a few of them personally. " your clips are great keep up the great work

a pipe lighter all those that have removable or extensible flame box
Oooooh so you can get it into a deep chamber like a pipes bowl. Thats wild
The first one goes HARD
Interesting pieces! Thank you for sharing your passion ❤️!
SAFFA is stylish. Just oozing 1950's class.
Impressive very nice let's see Paul Allen's lighter collection
I just love hearing the clicks and pops. Very satisfying
i love his voice. calming and goes well with the background music, and the beautiful lighters...

Seeing a lighter built and designed 120 years ago that still works is very impressive.

The hand in the back just flipping me off 😂
If only Germany stuck to lighters in the 1900s 😔😔
Man I love this channel.. I’ve always liked zippos, I have my uncles and he used it in Vietnam.. every single video you post I’m amazing!
Great collection and GREAT editing!
Ur vids feel very relaxing❤
Lovely pieces indeed, thanks for sharing.
The very first one is the Best...
Beautiful collection 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I'm still waiting to see that rope knot one in action. it's caught my eye now in at least three of your videos. Awesome work, sweet collection brother ❤
The cap lighter is sick. Coolest lighter I’ve seen. Love the sound.
Damn, I need to start smoking cigars
My dad gave me a trench lighter, it was so cool. Love your collection man.
amazing how Old stuff looks more better than new things
So many different cool designs. It strikes me with awe and leave me with a gasp. I think kids should be shown those old lighters and be awestruck by their creativity and differentness
I found the Japanese lighter at a garage sale for $5!!!
Something about the music, the antiquity of the lighters, and his accent just soothes my soul.
Much better than the AI voice.
Nice! Interesting collection 👍👍👍
I think I found a very old lighter from my great-grandfather, and it still works. So my question is, can you find out the age or model from photos? Or how can I get a catalog like the one you have?
Take a photo and search with google lens or Bixby
take a pic and using google image search, you can find the model of old lighters
Wow! What a beautiful collection! Exquisite!👌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😎❤️
Do any of those have asbestos in them? I’m looking to start collecting myself but any with asbestos are ones I’d like to avoid if possible. Thanks in advance mate.
asbestos is good for you!!! mmmm asbestos
@coolbeans7349 "oh that isn't smoke! It's steam, for the steamed clams we're having! Mmm, steamed clams."
Your collection is beyond impressive! ❤ 🔥
I hope you have great home insurance.
Great collection. I love old lighters.
Amorce-Tape Cap Lighter is the first lighter and it is from the 1890's
Man's voice is straight up from a 1920s gentleman
I never knew lighters could be so interesting, beautiful and amazingly well designed and made . Thank you .
This is the third one of your videos I've seen. I love them. So therapeutic.
Mind blowing designs😮😊 Love it!!
I love old lighters. I collect old Ronson and Zippo lighters. Plus a few others.😊
You got me to buy my first vintage lighter today! I’m so happy to start cleaning it and fixing it up with my dad ^^
The first one had the most satisfying snap of any lighter ever
Fantastic collection!! Congrats!
I love how crisp the action is!
Truly an old but gold antique set!!👌😎🏛️
You my man are one of the only few TRULY GREAT things the youtube algorithm has ever brought me. Thank you
The first one, is absolutely gorgeous
These are beautiful!
No idea why that one had so many transitions, but they are all cool. Love seeing the ingenuity
I love your Chanel , great stuff
Im enjoying these vintage lighters very much..glad you showed up in my feed.
Back when art and engineering was at a peak level
My dad started collecting them and it was weird for me at first but then I got really fascinated by them too so I collect some too here and there
I really like that lighter,,🎟️🎟️🤝🏻👍🏻
I didn't know I liked old lighters until now.
I love these and your videos, thank you.❤
Very intriguing designs, make me fell like they’re indeed decorative items😊
That last one shaped like an old camera is a pure work of art
Not going to lie, I'm a sucker for lighters. LOL!!!
That permanent match is amazing.
Not sure why but can’t stop watching these. Maybe it’s the fact we use to value craftsmanship and the most basic levels. Seems classy.
They don't make them like they used to. Some wonderful prices! Thank you !
That japanese lighter one is pretty neat 😎👍
I could spend hours admiring your collection
The mechanics of some of these are beautifully elegant.
The fascination that all the lighters still operate for all this period is something wordless to express
Wow..what a collection of old beautiful lighters u got
Love your collection sir❤❤❤
That 1st one is really amazing 🎉🎉
Makes me want to donate this cool phone lighter i have
Each piece looks very valuable, really awesome, looks so good for your heart.😊😊
That middle finger lighter in the background lol
I love the match lighters so much. All your lighters are super dope
Cool collection ❤❤❤

Stunning collection! This is so relaxing. Thank you.
All great lighters! I love the cap lighter and the perplex is so cool and complicated :O
