This one i picked up about 17-18 years back from some flea market in goa . Seems really vintage , it used to have a split ring to be put in a key chain and also a cover on top which got lost. It uses liquid fuel like zippo, though its needs a replacement flint right now

This one is my granddad's so has to be atleast 50 years old.still working. Outer body made of aluminum and rest is made of brass. This uses butane gas.
Image


it had a cover here with a split ring

Image

the small knob here needs to be rotated so the the valve releases the gas( what engineering)

Image


the o-rings have never been changes as far as i know but no gas escapes

raju modern versions of this type are still available as a cigarette look alike but just don't have the build quality
