This is the kind of thing that makes the internet truly great. Watching these videos is like being transported to an elegant, luxurious museum of artistry, looking through the decades of history in such a specific, particular way. Slices of ten thousand lives. I'm so glad that people like you do what you do. Thank you.
This channel is singlehandedly making me start my own collection. As a mechanic I love the different mechanisms used. I got a Beattie Jet lighter off ebay and now im hooked. The Colibri kickstart is definitely on my list now...
I am thrilled to read that you enjoy discovering lighters as me sharing the flame 🔥 Keep looking for that Colibri, I'm sure you can find one with soke luck 😊
This is such a small yet beautiful niche. I love how each lighter works. Things like this makes me appreciate the small things in life even more. Keep on keeping on. Your great, good man.
@@histoireduneflamme1988I’ve got around 50 vintage lighters in my collection so far from about 1930 to around 1960, where do you find yours? My go to is antique stores generally. Been debating going on eBay for a wider selection
I have great admiration for the engineers that make all those instant flame lighters in seemingly infinite configurations . They give the user great satisfaction of owning and using them reliably .
@@histoireduneflamme1988 your video means a lot for me who collect few cheap antique lighter, and if I may ask what's your favorite in collection and what's your ultimate grail lighter?
I was about to add a simple comment: 'Sublime'. Then at 4:50 I saw the 'IFA' and I was transported back to the early 1970s in the UK - I had, what must have been a copy of, one of those lighters. I loved it! They suddenly became very popular and were known as WW1 Trench Lighters. It was said that the originals were made from bullet shells. I haven't seen one like it, or given it a thought for about 50 years! And in an instant the memory of it came back and I was 'transported back in time. This collection of lighters is simply sublime! Thank you for sharing.
For this type of content, to which I had zero clue I clearly needed in my life, your videography is perfect. You hold everything long enough perfectly so that you can actually see and enjoy the content. Amazing stuff and wow those lighters are amazing. The pocket watch style one was my favorite.
I watched this with my jaw dropped the whole time for real… I find this sooooo cool. Makes me wanna start collecting some myself even tho I dont smoke anymore other than bongs lol.. please make more vids and talk and explain the lighters, I bet you have so much knowledge on all of these and that would be great to hear along with seeing the presentation and demonstration.
I don't really do anything with lighters but seeing the old designs and even the cute Japanese camera lighter kinda make me appreciate them. They're so beautiful.
Brother I found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. I love knife collecting and I don't smoke but I find these lighters fascinating. I'm anxious to start collecting but so unsure where to start. So far from watching these and looking online I love the Kickstart and the Thorens single and double claw are my favorite. Your videos are so well done and your passion obvious for this hobby
Absolutely lovely collection of lighters and choice of music! I've been watching your shorts for a bit, but I'm really interested to see the whole collection in longer form.
I accidentally stumbled onto your channel through my feed and now I am hooked on vintage lighters! Looking to start my own collection. Love those old lighters! 🔥😍
i love lighters and i don’t even smoke. fire is just fascinating to me and a lighter is a way to capture that beauty in your pocket and take it wherever you go.
This fixed my attention span.. I was doom scrolling on yt shorts and I found your video and clicked on the link to see the full video. I love all of these lighters!
OMG.... I LOVE THIS!!!! My Favorites Were The Japanese Ones!!!! My Grandfather Had This Lighter With A Dragon On It. He Said He Had Gotten It From Japan When He Was Stationed There. Sadly All His Stuff Was Abandoned By My Aunt Who Stole His Home From Him When He Got Alzheimers And The Courts Kept Playing Games Till He Died. Ill Hate Her Forever For What She Did. Not Only Did She Cause His Uniform, Metals And His Gun He Kept From The War To Be Lost.... But She Also Caused His Pipe And Lighter He Cherished To Be Lost. I Hope The Fates Somehow Make It Find Its Way To You Though. It Was A Beautiful Piece And I Think It Deserves To Be Added To A Museum Of Lighters. Keep Collecting, I Will Definitely Be Back To Watch More!!
Beautiful pieces of art, love to see them. As a kid I remember there were many different petrol and gas lighters. some of them were really impressive and we used to play alot with lighter petrol, it was cheap and accessible. Some people, in order to be more respectful and presentable, used to carry lighters, not matches. Unfortunatelly now we become more directed to functionality, usability and low cost. These have made beatiful lighters to become history. Now you can only buy those as second hand goods.
This makes me miss carrying a zippo. I quit smoking years ago so I have no need for a lighter, but there is just something satisfying in the old metal lighters.
Can you imagine at those times everyone walking around with these pieces of art? :O Nowadays you rarely see a lighter like this and slowly people dont even use bic or zippo.. everywhere you see chinese cheap that they brake after a year .. sad story of modern day. I love your channel and ur collection as a collector of old coins myself i salute you brother !
Let us know when you open the lighter museum (if you ever do) because I would pay a lot to see them all in real life. Plus, you inspire me to start collecting on my own.
What a wonderful video! I just stumbled onto your channel. I subscribed. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. I am a new pipe smoker, and have been fascinated by the vast amount of lighters and tampers. You have a blessed week, my friend.
Look at that..., seems like in that times the things not only functional working as mechanism..thats why the old things from the past mostly collectible.
I'd like to see you refill the compact some time. The design of the Fackel is simple but I like the pull out mechanism and the fact it looks like a burning screw. The Gulf is so satifying to look at and light. No clue if that ship is significant but nice art regardless. The camera lighter is so goofy but unique no surprise that Japan made it 😂 Meanwhile the Baccy Lite is elegant and the telewick is so neat! The Fackle, Baccy Lite, and Gulf are my top 3 for sure!
Honestly, I watched some of your vids and fiddling with the lighters seems satisfying. So I picked up a beat-up Ronson Capri and a Braniff Airways lighter from the 60s from a flea market to fidget with. Fixed em up, got em working… And now I kinda wanna pick up another.
Told my partner that i was watching a guy showing off his Swiss semi-automatics. He assumed i meant fire armss and googled Thorens semi auto. He was confused 😅

Well said Sir. Good day to you.
Yes! Well said!
I couldn’t explain it any better!

as a mechanic
why would you point out your fake "profession"?
Imagine lighting a cigar... With STYLE!
Never imagined I'd be interested in lighters, but here I am. The mechanisms are fascinating.
I agreed with you and I don’t know why the lighters nowadays are so boring 😮💨
This is one of the most fascinating RUclips videos I’ve seen all year! Outstanding
Thank you 😊 It's a pleasure to share my passion for lighters with you 🔥
The lighters are so beautiful 😍
This is such a small yet beautiful niche. I love how each lighter works. Things like this makes me appreciate the small things in life even more.
Keep on keeping on. Your great, good man.
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🥹 I can't wait to share more old lighters with you ❤️
This room is like a museum for lighters.
At least a 10'000 dollar collection 🤔 who knows for how long he is collecting.
I think it’s worth far more than that
@@Ercan-cy3we I've checked, some of those lighters are worth thousands by themselves.
@@sinisterthoughts2896and there seem to be hundreds of them.
Well, to be honest, this is my dream in the end. Opening a Lighter museum would be so amazing and cool 🥰
How many lighters do you have and can you please tell us a bit more about your personal history of collecting them? Great pieces indeed!
Thanks for watching 😊 Currently I only have between 2000 and 3000 lighters in total, but the collection is growing little by little 🙂↔️
I'm working on new horizontal formats which should be exactly what you're looking for ❤ Just not as simple as it seems to produce for me 😂
Wow, no need to be humble about "only" 3-4 thousand.
Just found your channel and it's quite fascinating.
I'm staying for good! 👍

Fantastic objects. Beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing with us those pieces of art.

Photography, music, manufacturer's citations...all spot on! Well done.
Thank you for letting us admire your exquisite collection. And your presentation with the slight classics in the background put it over the top.
Absolutely spectacular❤ such an amazing collection!

So many unusual lighters! I love the compact. So classy for a lady to carry
One of the most elegant lighters design ✨️
The compact is great.
I love that design.
The double-claw is definitely one of my favourites of all your lighters.

The Elegance! Just a smashing collection, well done old chap....
Thank you ☺️ always a pleasure to share the collection with you 🔥
i used to collect zippos as a kid, i have some of my grandfathers old lighters, i love your videos showing off these timeless pieces of art
I don't really do anything with lighters but seeing the old designs and even the cute Japanese camera lighter kinda make me appreciate them. They're so beautiful.
When i seen you finally opening a drawer.....I haven't been that excited in a while! Wow.

very beautiful collection love to see more long form stuff like this!
Thank you 😊 More long formats video on the way 🥲
Fackel lighter was amazing!
Can’t get that 1930s music outta my head now! Enjoying your videos immensely!!! Thanks for sharing your passion! Had no idea!
Absolutely lovely collection of lighters and choice of music! I've been watching your shorts for a bit, but I'm really interested to see the whole collection in longer form.
Thanks for your lovely comment 🥹 I'll do my best to keep the flame burning as long as I can, shorts and long formats 🔥😊

My sincere compliment on the music score accompanying the flicks.
i love lighters and i don’t even smoke. fire is just fascinating to me and a lighter is a way to capture that beauty in your pocket and take it wherever you go.
A superbly collection….you’re the First Class….of whole
the World….😁👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍
Hehe, to be honnest I'm just a baby in the lighter collecting world, but I'm growing every day a little but 😊
I worked for BOWER'S MFG in Kalamazoo MI & the company was started during WWII, making trench lighters. Which Mr BOWER'S also sold them door to door.
fantastic content, excellent collection, i could watch a series like this for hundreds of episodes. definitely a new favorite channel of mine
This fixed my attention span.. I was doom scrolling on yt shorts and I found your video and clicked on the link to see the full video. I love all of these lighters!
I like the showcase, and the fact how you have different sections for different countries and the flags 😂
I figured out pretty quickly that they were 6 major countries that manufactured lighters and felt lime a good way to clarify them 😊
Thank you for sharing!
A pleasure, thank you for watching ❤
Wunderbar. Vielen Dank 🙏. Wenn Sie Zeit und Lust haben würde ich mich über die nächsten 99 Folgen freuen.
I'll do my best to keep the flame burning as long as possible 😊💪🔥
OMG....
I LOVE THIS!!!!
My Favorites Were The Japanese Ones!!!!
My Grandfather Had This Lighter With A Dragon On It.
He Said He Had Gotten It From Japan When He Was Stationed There.
Sadly All His Stuff Was Abandoned By My Aunt Who Stole His Home From Him When He Got Alzheimers And The Courts Kept Playing Games Till He Died.
Ill Hate Her Forever For What She Did.
Not Only Did She Cause His Uniform, Metals And His Gun He Kept From The War To Be Lost....
But She Also Caused His Pipe And Lighter He Cherished To Be Lost.
I Hope The Fates Somehow Make It Find Its Way To You Though.
It Was A Beautiful Piece And I Think It Deserves To Be Added To A Museum Of Lighters.
Keep Collecting, I Will Definitely Be Back To Watch More!!
these werent just lighters, they were a work of art.
Beautiful pieces of art, love to see them.
As a kid I remember there were many different petrol and gas lighters. some of them were really impressive and we used to play alot with lighter petrol, it was cheap and accessible.
Some people, in order to be more respectful and presentable, used to carry lighters, not matches.

What an outstanding collection. Subscribed, waiting for Round 2
Increíble colección enhorabuena. Un saludo
Muchas gracias 🥰
Fantastic video! Great to see some of your collection
Looks like you’ve archived everything! Very nice my history loving comrade!
What a wonderful collection! I love lighters! They are such a cool useful tool but also a world of art.
Una Coleccion Increible y Espectacular .......Gracias Por Compartirla ..... Saludos a Todos Desde Mexico !
Reminds me of browsing thrue grandpas drawer back in the days :D
Thank you for inviting us into your home Sir!
This is amazing!
I like this stuff and old watches from the war....their design, their shapes, its all amazing.
Incredible stuff ❤a little jealous stuff like this isnt really around much anymore
Well, it's also because they're not manufactured and forgotten since nice decades that make them beautiful today 😊
That trench lighter at the end really hit me hard 😢 amazing collection! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Это восхитительно ! 😍👏👏👏🤩
Thank you 😊
keep making videos like this please!! I lobe the shorts but this is much more elegant 🎉
I'm really glad you appreciappreciated the longer format, more are on the way 🔥😊
This was so fun to watch! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pieces of art. The construction and the designs . Outstanding
Your music selection is FIRE
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing 🔥
I’m really enjoying seeing all of the different mechanisms! Thank you
Восхитительные зажигалки
This is so relaxing. Thanks for posting! Would you consider adding the songs you use in the background in the video descriptions?
Amazing collection! When i was a kid in 1998 i was gifted a 20s or 30s lighter it blew my mind i wish i still has it id still use it
A non smoker still enjoying this❤
the compact is amazing
I enjoy these lighter videos so much that I have decided to get one. I quit smoking years ago I just want a cool lighter now.
Que hermoso ❤🎉
Oh the compact is truly beautiful!!! Reminds me of the little compacts pressed powder would come in- you wouldn’t want to mix them up though!!
This makes me miss carrying a zippo. I quit smoking years ago so I have no need for a lighter, but there is just something satisfying in the old metal lighters.
As a collector of mid-grade lighters, I am speechless after seeing how high you set the bar for a top-tier lighter collection
England always Rock !!!
Cheers from your newest subscriber from California 😎
stupendous collection
Can you imagine at those times everyone walking around with these pieces of art? :O Nowadays you rarely see a lighter like this and slowly people dont even use bic or zippo.. everywhere you see chinese cheap that they brake after a year .. sad story of modern day. I love your channel and ur collection as a collector of old coins myself i salute you brother !
People don’t smoke nearly as much these days (thank god) so there’s no profit in making these kinds of lighters anymore.
A series about the background history of the lighter manufacturers and designers during the 1900s would very lovely. Please?
For Ronson to think of ergonimics like that that long ago is really something.
Thorens- amazing❤
Let us know when you open the lighter museum (if you ever do) because I would pay a lot to see them all in real life. Plus, you inspire me to start collecting on my own.
Love this channel, I single handedly watched all your shorts in one day I’m starting a collection of zippo/kinda old lighters myself now
Is that pearl on lighter #2? Art meets engineering meets utility. I love your collection and thank you for sharing these videos.
Outstanding collection!
What a wonderful video! I just stumbled onto your channel. I subscribed. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. I am a new pipe smoker, and have been fascinated by the vast amount of lighters and tampers. You have a blessed week, my friend.

wow, that is a lot of lighters, thanks for showing this video!

O my god, Bro you are crazy! Excellent collection!
No wonder everyone smoked. They wanted to show off their lighters.
Спасибо, получил огромное удовольствие от просмотра, успеха вам и вашему каналу.
I think collection of vintage pocket and wristwatches would fit such collection very well if you really want to open a museum.
It’s the compact and fackle for me.
Lighters during this era were truly a craft
Man this is a whole new thing I didn’t know I was interested in.
Im from México and i really enjoy see all the things you have ( i mean the oil and gas containers, etc) also the music Is really good!
WOW, brilliant video 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲
Told my partner that i was watching a guy showing off his Swiss semi-automatics. He assumed i meant fire armss and googled Thorens semi auto. He was confused 😅
Merci beucoup d'avoir montré votre collection mon seigneur!
Joyeux Noël 2024 de Suède!😁
