Vintage trench lighter (pen/pencil), petrol, authentic collector's item Product description: I am selling a vintage mechanical lighter, a special model of the "trench lighter" type, made in the elongated shape of a pen/pencil lighter. It is a piece with a remarkable industrial-military aesthetic, ideal for both collectors and enthusiasts of historical objects or steampunk style. Technical features and details: Ingenious anti-evaporation mechanism: The main cap is equipped with a small secondary tube attached to the side. When closed, it perfectly isolates the wick, instantly extinguishing the flame and preventing the evaporation of petrol. Authentic materials: The body of the lighter is made of solid brass (originally covered with a protective layer of nickel, which over time has partially worn away, giving it a superb historical patina). The clamp is made of flexible steel. Ergonomic design: The curved arm on which the wick is mounted was specially designed to protect the flame from the wind and to allow easy lighting (including for pipes). Portability: Thanks to the clip on the lid, it can be carried in your pocket just like an elegant pen. Functionality: The lighter is functional (the mechanism ignites the flame, as shown in the photo). It works with standard lighter fuel (Zippo type) and common consumables (flints and cotton wick). Aesthetic condition: The product is in its original condition, unadorned, showing an authentic patina of time (traces of wear on the nickel layer, natural oxidation of the brass and small traces of rust on the clamp), an appearance that enhances its historical value and vintage charm
