In amongst my fathers WWII relics. Made of aluminum. The round things on the bottom are kind of like wheels. Don't know their purpose. Top unscrews, flint wheel also unscrews to allow replacement of wick, flint and lighter fluid.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Here's one on the "bay" - asking price is crazy outrageous;

Here's a similar model on etsy - price more in line with value;
