This simple lighter has an intricate history. The company is Orlik from England which was started by Austrian Louis Orlik. With connections to Austria, many of Orlik's lighters were made there, including this one.

MEB was an American company started by German Max E. Bernhardt that imported several lighters from Europe, including this one, resulting in an American logo stamped on an English lighter made in Austria.

Please could someone explain how rare this one is? I would like to know how old and some history behind it :) i found it somewhere in my grandfathers closet he passed away sadly :/

UPDATE: Picked it up and got a professional verification, it is authentic

As the title says, I’m trying to date and verify the authenticity of this vintage dunhill lighter. Any help would be appreciated :) thank you!

Also looking for estimated value if anyone can guess :)

My grandma died a few years ago from cancer (she was a frequent smoker). I was looking through her sewing stuff and found this lighter in there. I reverse image searched it and I found out it's a gas lighter.

Because I didn't want to place it somewhere just for it to collect dust, I'm asking if someone can tell me if I can fill it up again and, maybe, keep using it, or if it's too far gone.

early 1930's "manifold" petrol automatic windproof cigar and pipe lighter. the made in austria lighter features an unusual built-up windscreen design with an automatic mechanism. you press thumb pieces, and it snaps up to light. the wick is attached to a wheel that turns the wick up for pipe use. the "manifold" was invented by leopold kutter of vienna austria in 1932. the "manifold" comes in 2 versions, with the pipe wheel model being the rarest. the side of the lighter has a JL in the triangle logo, which must be the manufacturers name.

I have over 200 used bic lighters mostly ones that have cool prints on them, them in the crates as u see them displayed at a gas station but I want to display them in a cool way how can I display them? Any ideas?

It operates via an automatic squeeze-action mechanism. Squeezing the lighter snaps the cap open and strikes the flint simultaneously to spark the flame.

Origin & Patent: The mechanism was patented in France by inventors Robert and René Mouchon between 1930 and 1931.

Manufacturer Markings: Authentic models feature an impressed manufacturer's mark reading "Mouchon Le Sphinx Made in France."

Licensing: Because the design was highly effective, the mechanism was licensed to other premium brands of the era. Most notably, the prominent French manufacturer Quercia used the Mouchon license to create their famous "Racer" lighter in 1933.

These aren't holding butane/not working. I found them in my nans old stuff so not 100% sure of timeline.

Where is the best place in Australia to have them restored back to working?
