posticon The Lighter


Due to new information from our new god Jess....we have been all wrong in regards to The Lighter (which Chris confirmed exists !)

It appears that The Lighter is either a vintage "Auer Champion" or reasonable facsimile and it has an unusual silver square on one side that is in my estimation an attempt by the prop dept to cover up either a company logo , someone's initials or possible sticker residue:

Jess's pic:

and a close-up:

And a pic from Jess showing The Lighter in detail..notice the vertical lines embossed in the case:

and here is my lighter with just a touch of silver spray paint:

These type of lighters are fairly cheap and easy to find !

Re: The Lighter


You have done an excellent job of recreating the image. However, I remain skeptical of the explanation. I am much less confident of my own explanation (that the shape is a reflection) because it seems to be visible from this other angle:

Re: The Lighter


To me the silver patch appears to be glue residue from removal of a price tag, sticker or logo.

Re: The Lighter


Could also be where the glue has pulled off the plating, showing the coating beneath.

Odd. Just found one of the Ronsons yesterday from a local shop.

Funny how that works out.
