      Great lighter! Something I always have to mention to lighter collectors, as I once was, I only have a few left but take out the flint! I would think Zippo would have that on their site, but so far have never seen it there. Leaving the flints in is a sure way to destroy your collection. That's what makes them "fat'. It starts to corrode and expands the lighters.

      This style of lighter is called a trench lighter, not to be confused with a trench art lighter.

      They were very popular and made by many companies.

      I'm trying to identify a manufacturer or a time frame. I can't find anything with these markings. Maybe IMCO or Bower.
    9. Roycroftbooksfromme1, 5 years ago
      I notice most Bower's have a shield on them ...

      Thanks Roy.. makes sense with what looks like a Firebird or an Eagle. I'll do some further checking.
