Lighters are among the most popular collectibles today, both for their aesthetic value and brand associations. First invented in 1823 and then improved in the 1880s, pocket lighters became as common as keys or wallets by the 1930s. Basic types of lighters include manual (flint and wheel spark ignites a wick or creates a flame above a gas valve), semi-automatic (wheel also opens the fuel source cover), and automatic (requires only a button push).
