Tip: use a drill bit to grind up the old flint residue. Just did this with mine

[@rushifa1322]

Would you sell a lighter lighter?

[@jeremyschepler4225]

I just got one but noticed there isn't a spring or screw, what should I do to replace those?

[@mawkstaiws2243]

Would a flint screw from a zippo fit?

[@jimkolb3765]

My Regens came from the EBay seller with wool wadding is that usual?

[@DependableFlame]

Nothing would surprise me. They used sawdust back in the day.✌

You should post some of these lighters on eBay. I’d love to buy another regens depending on the price

[@DependableFlame]

I might do that or list the lot of them for trade over on the Facebook page. I'll let you know.✌️

There are often different names or variations stamped on what appears to be the same lighter. I collect Penguin Cygnus lighters but have three that are branded differently. Perhaps, they were manufactured for or licensed to the different branded company.
Counterfeits are possible too but don't seem likely with a lighter that was so inexpensive in the first place.
There are many old designs that have been revived recently by manufacturers in China and sell on Ebay as we speak. For instance they sell a lighter that looks a lot like a Thorens and brand it Torrance. I don't recall seeing any squeeze lighters like that though.✌️
