OLD LIGHTER COLLECTION 🔥 Round 1

[@fim-43redeye31]

This is the kind of thing that makes the internet truly great. Watching these videos is like being transported to an elegant, luxurious museum of artistry, looking through the decades of history in such a specific, particular way. Slices of ten thousand lives. I'm so glad that people like you do what you do. Thank you.

[@OldGuyHere]

Well said Sir. Good day to you.

[@Launabanauna2]

Yes! Well said!

[@handsaw72]

I couldn’t explain it any better!

[@neilkloppenborg8399]

This is one of the most fascinating KZbin videos I’ve seen all year! Outstanding

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Thank you 😊 It's a pleasure to share my passion for lighters with you 🔥

[@sonsiehollingsworth5342]

The lighters are so beautiful 😍

[@cameo403]

This room is like a museum for lighters.

[@Ercan-cy3we]

At least a 10'000 dollar collection 🤔 who knows for how long he is collecting.

[@cameo403]

I think it’s worth far more than that

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

@@Ercan-cy3we I've checked, some of those lighters are worth thousands by themselves.

[@cameo403]

@@sinisterthoughts2896and there seem to be hundreds of them.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Well, to be honest, this is my dream in the end. Opening a Lighter museum would be so amazing and cool 🥰

[@universalcrazy4889]

This is such a small yet beautiful niche. I love how each lighter works. Things like this makes me appreciate the small things in life even more. Keep on keeping on. Your great, good man.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Thank you so much for your kind comment 🥹 I can't wait to share more old lighters with you ❤️

[@PhilIpp88]

How many lighters do you have and can you please tell us a bit more about your personal history of collecting them? Great pieces indeed!

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Thanks for watching 😊 Currently I only have between 2000 and 3000 lighters in total, but the collection is growing little by little 🙂‍↔️

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

I'm working on new horizontal formats which should be exactly what you're looking for ❤ Just not as simple as it seems to produce for me 😂

[@TheNunakun]

Wow, no need to be humble about "only" 3-4 thousand. Just found your channel and it's quite fascinating. I'm staying for good! 👍

[@Mudmouth]

@@histoireduneflamme1988I’ve got around 50 vintage lighters in my collection so far from about 1930 to around 1960, where do you find yours? My go to is antique stores generally. Been debating going on eBay for a wider selection

[@johnnytightlips0628]

Great lighter collection,thanks for sharing

[@conscience-commenter]

I have great admiration for the engineers that make all those instant flame lighters in seemingly infinite configurations . They give the user great satisfaction of owning and using them reliably .

[@ervdre]

Photography, music, manufacturer's citations...all spot on! Well done.

[@High-Alpha]

This channel is singlehandedly making me start my own collection. As a mechanic I love the different mechanisms used. I got a Beattie Jet lighter off ebay and now im hooked. The Colibri kickstart is definitely on my list now...

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

I am thrilled to read that you enjoy discovering lighters as me sharing the flame 🔥 Keep looking for that Colibri, I'm sure you can find one with soke luck 😊

[@luigicirelli2583]

as a mechanic why would you point out your fake "profession"?

[@simki1531]

very beautiful collection love to see more long form stuff like this!

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Thank you 😊 More long formats video on the way 🥲

[@emilaliyev5731]

Fackel lighter was amazing!

[@JDiFY]

Can you imagine at those times everyone walking around with these pieces of art? :O Nowadays you rarely see a lighter like this and slowly people dont even use bic or zippo.. everywhere you see chinese cheap that they brake after a year .. sad story of modern day. I love your channel and ur collection as a collector of old coins myself i salute you brother !

[@davelowey3074]

Hi, you have a really fantastic collection, it's vrey cool thanks for showing us all.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

The pleasure is for me to share it with you 😊 Thanks for watching 🔥

[@ThePardner]

Absolutely lovely collection of lighters and choice of music! I've been watching your shorts for a bit, but I'm really interested to see the whole collection in longer form.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Thanks for your lovely comment 🥹 I'll do my best to keep the flame burning as long as I can, shorts and long formats 🔥😊

[@Lonewolf-gr2nh]

Thanks for sharing such a collection. Respect

[@ElJorro]

No wonder everyone smoked. They wanted to show off their lighters.

[@Juggggo]

keep making videos like this please!! I lobe the shorts but this is much more elegant 🎉

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

I'm really glad you appreciappreciated the longer format, more are on the way 🔥😊

I'll do my best to keep the flame burning as long as possible 😊💪🔥

[@Martinli317]

Una Coleccion Increible y Espectacular .......Gracias Por Compartirla ..... Saludos a Todos Desde Mexico !

[@IRDeady]

This makes me miss carrying a zippo. I quit smoking years ago so I have no need for a lighter, but there is just something satisfying in the old metal lighters.

[@YalaTV]

This is amazing! I like this stuff and old watches from the war....their design, their shapes, its all amazing.

[@Rondingo100]

I’m really enjoying seeing all of the different mechanisms! Thank you

[@RedcoatsReturn]

A superbly collection….you’re the First Class….of whole the World….😁👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Hehe, to be honnest I'm just a baby in the lighter collecting world, but I'm growing every day a little but 😊

[@watrgrl2]

What a wonderful collection! I love lighters! They are such a cool useful tool but also a world of art.

[@stevetstevelebowski9829]

That trench lighter at the end really hit me hard 😢 amazing collection! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@stacyjackson6276]

I worked for BOWER'S MFG in Kalamazoo MI & the company was started during WWII, making trench lighters. Which Mr BOWER'S also sold them door to door.

[@Cycl0nity]

Oh the compact is truly beautiful!!! Reminds me of the little compacts pressed powder would come in- you wouldn’t want to mix them up though!!

[@Wildgoatknives]

Fantastic video! Great to see some of your collection

[@OldGuyHere]

I enjoy these lighter videos so much that I have decided to get one. I quit smoking years ago I just want a cool lighter now.

[@nilo70]

Cheers from your newest subscriber from California 😎

[@serdj_50618-P]

Beautiful pieces of art, love to see them. As a kid I remember there were many different petrol and gas lighters. some of them were really impressive and we used to play alot with lighter petrol, it was cheap and accessible. Some people, in order to be more respectful and presentable, used to carry lighters, not matches. Unfortunatelly now we become more directed to functionality, usability and low cost. These have made beatiful lighters to become history. Now you can only buy those as second hand goods.

[@CutiepieWaffles]

stupendous collection

[@artdapro7700]

Love this channel, I single handedly watched all your shorts in one day I’m starting a collection of zippo/kinda old lighters myself now

[@Serduda]

Let us know when you open the lighter museum (if you ever do) because I would pay a lot to see them all in real life. Plus, you inspire me to start collecting on my own.

[@raghuveersadanala454]

4:54 IFA is my fav among these..

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

A timeless classic lighter design for sure 👌 🔥

[@nogi2167]

Honestly, I watched some of your vids and fiddling with the lighters seems satisfying. So I picked up a beat-up Ronson Capri and a Braniff Airways lighter from the 60s from a flea market to fidget with. Fixed em up, got em working… And now I kinda wanna pick up another.

[@playeroflife]

Oh I love them all. But the kickstarter lighter is such a beauty. Very clever design 😊love your channel.

[@chachmcgrach2053]

Your music selection is FIRE

[@agr0nianTV]

I'd like to see you refill the compact some time. The design of the Fackel is simple but I like the pull out mechanism and the fact it looks like a burning screw. The Gulf is so satifying to look at and light. No clue if that ship is significant but nice art regardless. The camera lighter is so goofy but unique no surprise that Japan made it 😂 Meanwhile the Baccy Lite is elegant and the telewick is so neat! The Fackle, Baccy Lite, and Gulf are my top 3 for sure!

[@hankkits4043]

I'd love, if possible, if you could have some with the RRP. It'd be interesting to know how much each actually costed back then.

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

Outstanding collection!

[@RyansBeans]

This was so fun to watch! Thank you

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshbeaulieu7408]

Is that pearl on lighter #2? Art meets engineering meets utility. I love your collection and thank you for sharing these videos.

[@Chibanah]

I think collection of vintage pocket and wristwatches would fit such collection very well if you really want to open a museum.

[@mortalsfoe6333]

It’s the compact and fackle for me. Lighters during this era were truly a craft

[@samnelson9038]

This is incredibly relaxing.

[@jtjjbannie]

I love the background music as well.

[@kingj1222]

When will we get a part 2?! Collection is lovely and would love to see more!

[@rodjapavlik5730]

Really wonderful lighters. I have some IMCOs - but the more standard ones. When we grew up in the 1980ies, we wanted to buy expensive ZIPPOs, because the Americans understood how to build a myth around their products. But in hindsight I must say that the (then) much cheaper IMCO can withstand a strong wind much better than a ZIPPO.

[@11bucik11]

O my god, Bro you are crazy! Excellent collection!

[@maggs131]

8:40 being a pipe smoker id love to have thats 50s Baccy lite. Probably what it was designed for

[@hafizsyed7304]

Absolutely Great collection.. it’s hard to pick favourites… it’s beauty one after another… The Compact from US. Austrian designs , Couple of English… it’s Hard to deny any… Japanese as well…

[@kombucha_director]

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing 🔥

[@doodoothedishonored9093]

Me: I should really sleep… Also me at 3 am: damn that one’s shaped like a dog, that’s adorable.

[@myotheraccount.]

As a collector of mid-grade lighters, I am speechless after seeing how high you set the bar for a top-tier lighter collection

[@dadtype2339]

Subscriber here first time caller long time listener, lol remember that, So, how long have you been collecting lighters, what started the hobby and do you smoke, or have you ever, and if so, do you use a lighter from the collection or keep them safe and just use a regular trashy bic lighter lol. Love the channel, for me it's the history and therapeutic nature of the clicking. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sirsmiteful6285]

4:09 I gotta find one of these!

[@adamhunter1223]

The Fackel has an amazing reload animation.

[@namratasinharay4968]

These are parts of history that the World has lived through! Wow, amazing!!😊😊

[@HitotsumiNadegiri]

For some reason this is sooo damn satisfying to watch🥰🥰🥰

[@chikami6014]

I was trying to have this video on while I sorted my trading cards, but i so frustrated that I couldnt help but keep staring at the screen LOL so fascinating

[@1985230ce]

The way you show the lighters is fantastic but your choice of music brings it up to another level. Maybe when you get tired of showing lighters you can start a music channel.

[@HarleyQuinn-pi9go]

I do not smoke. So I was never very interested in lighters. Until I found your channel. ❤

[@Shichkov]

I also collect lighters. I bought it at the flea market in Bulgaria, Argentina, Armenia, Russia, Latvia

[@jonathanl200]

The compact one my favourite 😅

[@solidsnek9255]

Yknow even if I can never obtain these, at least I know someone has them and they're being well taken care of

[@adamfunk4519]

This music and history has me interested

[@EarthlyVibes]

The mechanism on the 1939 Compact by Parker is so interesting

[@eisenwahn3558]

[@Ray-pd9ff]

Looking to get a couple of these vintage cool lighters.

[@MrTtmw]

Hey, I am currently looking for a vintage lighter for my fancy outfit but I don't really find anything like the ones you present in your videos. Could you maybe do a video where you give tips on where to find lighters, how much you should spend and how to care for them so they actually work? That would be highly appreciated from people like me considering to start their own small collection. I am currently thinking of buying modern replicas but it wouldnt feel the same.

[@lucasbuff8451]

Just amazing.

[@irhammuzakka1249]

It's so fascinating to see all kind of unique lighter. Is it hard to collect them?, i mean can you tell me where can i buy those kind of unique lighter or tell me how you buy those?

[@smalldowns]

When’s round 2? This was awesome

[@Kaleun83]

Wunderbar, sowas schönes wird heute nicht mehr hergestellt! Danke fürs teilhaben lassen.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

Dankeschön 🔥🔥

[@craigvestal1778]

How much would the restoration on some of these be? Beautiful collection but I would imagine that as old as some of them are you would have to have somebody to go to to get missing parts or to refurbish them. Just curious, how many have you professionally cleaned or repaired or are you able to find these through different estate sales or various collectors in these conditions?

[@davidreddington4381]

Beautiful hobby! 😌

[@doomslayer5490]

I must ask were you got lighter with S.S Bremen on it! Being an oceanliner nerd, it looks gorgeous!

[@Kevin-og1zx]

Do you think the burning gloves makes a lot of sense because a lot of women back in these days would have been wearing gloves and they probably wouldn't have been too cautious with the lighter fluid and there is probably tons of records of this sort of accident happening

[@isyerindeyimarada]

thanks for amazig videos

[@LeapingBlackman]

Do you have a video on a thorens vidette? I got one recently and it looks like the smaller one but has the different switch and wind guard. Beautiful embossing as well as someones initials

[@juliejohnson6472]

Jad, on one of your shorts looks like a drum set lighter. If true, where could I find one and how much would one cost? Really curious, husband is a drummer. Although, he like you would always prefer old things, but the drumm lighter very cool.

Is that "Parker" the same as the pen maker? I collect old Parker pens, I really like the 51s and the Duofolds from the 30s.

[@BuffaloNickel9]

Good question, I noticed as well and since it's American I bet it is the exact same Parker "Pens & Refills" Co.

[@histoireduneflamme1988]

It woud have been cool, but it's not the same company, the "Compact" is by Parker of London to be more precise 😊
