A Vintage Lighter Collection, Zippo, Ronson, Dunhill, Dupont, Evans, Military, Trench, and Table

[@AgustinBernardo]

I just wanted to say that I admire your collection so much that once a year I come back to watch it again! Its amazing!

[@myotheraccount.]

Thanks man, that's awesome, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my collection. It remains a really fun hobby

[@theonemodifier]

Old 1930s 40s semi automatic Mylflam are my favorite to find and collect. Great design

[@lightersandmore1180]

Wow, what a great collection. I have some similar ones as you, but your collection is massive. My collection much less, LOL. Thanks for showing us. Very smart way to organise the lighters also.

[@Gary-ks8rz]

Geez... Do I have a long way to go. Impressive Collection. Super Nice. I just picked up a Ronson Redskin lighter kit that is complete. Just what I need, another hobby. Gotta start somewhere.

[@RelaxedpiperYoutube]

Wow, what a collection, I wish I had got into it years ago before it became a thing. Back then there were vintage Dunhill I could afford now. lol

[@JKsStuff]

Thanks for checking out the collection, I wish I knew what I know now when I started. There are still amazing vintage lighters out there, good luck with the search, and post some pictures of your finds!

Hi from France! Amazing collection! I love mine but it's nothing like yours! Congrats!

[@frostiewrld3791]

you have SO many cool lighters XD

[@doejon9424]

Wow.. This is museum worthy! It's crazy how over the past few years this lighter collecting has became popular. Looks like you started way before then, when people were still throwing old lighters away or selling them dirt cheap HAHA ! Kudos to you man! I have a few Zippo's & a few other Japanese / Austrian / French lighters.. but nothing like this !!

[@JKsStuff]

Thanks man, what you're seeing is 20+ years of casual collecting (with a lot more focus during the pandemic). Most of these were just lucky finds, and it's definitely harder to get lucky these days.

[@doejon9424]

@@JKsStuff That's so cool ! I dig it. That's definitely something to be proud of! I've never seen anything like it ! Do you collect specific models / years & have a list of what you wanted or has your collection just took off and you never looked back ?

I have about 10 lighters including some nicer cigar lighters that are brand name with cutters or punches on them. I just bought a palladium St Dupont line 2. The funny thing is I don't consider myself to collect lighters or to have a lighter collection but here we are. Its mostly just been because I use them and cant say no to a good deal for a cigar lighter. The ST dupont is amazing though. I have a matching black and silver dupont cutter/cigar stand as well as a line D pen. I somehow have a lighter, pen, watch and rare book collection without ever intending to. I only consciously collect cigars. I actually started buying some expensive pens because I always thought that was a stupid thing to buy so I became interested in why anyone would ever get any and I ended up going down too much of a rabbit hole. I think I am too open and tend to get interested in too many hobbies. The end result is that I have probably 150k of fun items in my home office. That's proabably a lot for a guy in his mid 30s however everything has seemed to skyrocket in value over the last few years even more than my actual investments. I collect the following : guns, lighters, knives, cigars, books, pens, watches, comic books, and guitars.

@@JKsStuff I have a question, why do some vintage/antique lighters have no markings on them , yet they seem very well made etc ??

[@rajasheechatterjee3583]

Amazing collection...i stay in India and collect lighters too but it's mainly cheap Chinese lighters available here...that too mostly disposable...

[@JKsStuff]

This is a fun hobby, take your time and keep your eye out for good ones, there might be online auctions in your area if you look for them, good luck

Now that Is a collectione

[@theonemodifier]

Quite impressive. I didn't see any MYLFLAM spring loaded petro lighters, but possibly one of 2 you called German silver wrapped, the one on the left. To me them and Evans are the best design and most dependable petro lighters.

[@nickking8317]

[@yoshidragon6687]

I am impressed how many lighter you have got! My dad left me several Dunpont lighters he bought 20+ years ago and I didn't look after them properly. The outer containers looked oxidised and I wonder if the content inside gets evaporate....Would u be able to advise how i can deal with them? is there any safety concern for keeping so many lighters at home?

[@JKsStuff]

Thanks for checking out my collection. It sounds like you have a collection going yourself, how many do you have? The butane will leak out slowly over time, so I'd say probably no safety concern, and the outside can be polished. I wouldn't try and fill them unless you plan to use them, I'd also remove the flint stone. Let me know if you have any other questions. -JK

[@yoshidragon6687]

Thank you so much! It is so kind you replied me and your information is very useful to me! I got like 10 of them (Dunpont and Zippo). I don't smoke cigarette personally; but I don't want to give/ throw them away as they remind me of my dad!@@JKsStuff

No wonder I can't find a double wick and flint wheel lighter..... You have them all. I think I have 2 in my 3k lighters. And I am having serious storage cabinets envy. Is that custom made?

[@JKsStuff]

Thanks for checking out my collection Dante! I definitely keep my eye out for those double aluminum lighters. The storage cabinets are just regular architectural flat files that I lined with felt. Would you consider posting some pictures or a quick video of your collection? I actually met you at Brimfield a few years back, you got that snappy little gun lighter, a TouchTip, a Rollalite, and black DeLight with red stripes.

[@philslighters3808]

Hello may I ask where you got your shelf ?

[@JKsStuff]

Thanks for checking out my collection, I got the wooden flat files from a retired architect and I lined them with green felt

[@Z_Shameless]

Question, do most of these work

[@myotheraccount.]

Great question, the ones that have a wick and use lighter fluid -almost all of those work, they just need a flint and to be filled. If they don't work, I keep them in the parts drawer until I can get them going or use them for parts to fix other lighters. The butane lighters in the bottom drawers -most of those don't work, the little rubber gaskets dry out and crack and they leak gas 😳

[@DependableFlame]

Beautiful collection!✌️

[@06zulu]

Are you familiar with zippo style Knock offs made by willow metal manufacturing company ltd? I have one that has a date of 1957 on it. Any info would be appreciated.

[@JKsStuff]

Willow was a Japanese manufacturer that made lighters mainly in the flip top Zippo style, and the Ronson Standard style. There are dozens of manufacturers that made lighters in these two popular styles. It is rare that those companies dated them or used a code system like Zippo, so I'm wondering if it was engraved by the owner or possibly commissioned by a military branch or as an advertising piece. Lighters like that during that time period were common, and popular as gifts or promotional giveaways.

[@06zulu]

@@JKsStuff - thanks for responding, I think you nailed it! I found this lighter in my dad's stuff after he passed. The date "1957" is printed on the lid to commemorate a Marine Corps event for the 9th Marine Reg. The willow info is stamped on the bottom of the lighter. Until today I figured the lighter was a zippo. I stumbled upon your KZbin and thought, what the heck. Thanks for your response. Ray

[@JKsStuff]

@@06zulu Yeah man, happy to help, what a great keepsake, my dad got me a few lighters before he passed, those are some of the most special to me. That's one of the things that got me into collecting, -so many of these lighters really meant something to someone, it was an item they carried with them everywhere and relied on several times a day, and they held a different significance than something like a watch you might casually check the time with, these were a part of the ritual of lighting up a smoke, something someone did with purpose and mindfulness

Great collection, that is a lot of lighters you have. Do you happen to have any Flaminaire Galet lighters? the ones that has a circular disposable butane tank, they are called the "Butobloc E" canisters and I was wandering if you had any information on this type of lighter as I've found no info on how to refill/replace parts. here is a video of what the butane canister looks like kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXi3aIGFgKqSr9E
