-------------------------====(*)====---------------------------

Hello everybody out there,

I'm looking for the following stuff which I would like to buy:

Old cigarette lighters from the era 1900 to 1940:
-------------------------------------------------
Lighters with an unusual mechanism interest me most, also any
lighters with a special feature (e.g. an integrated watch) or
lighters with an special method to ignite the wick.

The lighters must be petrol filled ones (butane lighters are too
young) and in fine condition.

Old ZIPPO windproof lighters:
-----------------------------
I'm interested in very early ZIPPO lighters from 1932 (first
model) to 1950. Preferable with a logo or advertisement on the
front and/or boxed. If offering any ZIPPO please mention the
embossed writting from the bottom of the lighter.

HAMILTON electric wrist watch "Electric Pacer / VENTURA"
--------------------------------------------------------
This watch has a unique shape, more or less triangle with
the winder from setting the time on one corner.

Petrol filled cigarette lighters with an integrated watch:
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking for fine lighters made by American companies
(eg. TRIANGLE, CLARK, CARLTON, RONSON, GOLDEN WHEEL, MARTHON,
EVANS, DUNHILL etc).

RONSON table lighters (made by Art-Metal-Works New Jersey)
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm especially looking for models called "Touch-Tip" (named
so on the bottom) which have a quite unique mechanism to lite
a metal wand. Pieces which interest me most do have something
beside the lighter (eg. cigarette box, calendar, pen holder etc).
Also interested in figural striker lighters made by RONSON.

---==(*)==---

I'm willing to pay *best* prices for really fine or rare lighters.

Looking forward hearing from you ....
