Smoking kills? Mills Bomb cigarette lighter!

[lithgow]

I believe they also made egg timers with these-gave you a little reminder when they were ready!

Cool item Ade, Have you tried restoring it to see if it will work, as a lighter that is?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Jerry, yes it still strikes a spark OK. Just needs wadding and a wick.

I always used to maintain Lez's old Zippo lighter when she smoked (She has not touched a cigarette since her heart attack last New Year: very proud of her!) so it would be simple to restore.

Cheers, Ade.

As you say Ade, a wick and wadding is easy to get. Good for Lez on the given up smoking.

I like it, theres so many different "trench art" variations of lighters, it should be a collecting hobby, I used to have a 20mm round that was made into one, and screwed into a brass base plate from a 6pdr shell, my dad used to use it at home every day, god knows what happened to it

I saw a similar one to your one years ago, I was jealous then and still jealous now. Nice lighter
