A work colleague just purchased one of these of evilbay. Great piece of kit. Have a vid of it working to but stilk working out how to attach it.

Looks like a permanent match ?

Yea basically a rod and steel with a bir of gauze dipped in fuel attached. In a handy attractive mount

I'm guessing thats not a genuine Zippo product!

These have been around for decades, and are really quite nifty - the seal stops the fuel from evaporating. Ebay has hundreds of them for less than a couple of quid apiece.

I had one of them about 20 years ago, not sure it had zippo on it but it came from spain I think. old design

Ok doh. Maybe not "new" to anyone else but me. but still pretty nifty.

I still have my original bright orange Survival Aids one from the early 80's.

I took my survival/essentials tin to the lakes with some family and friends and opened it for the first time in 20 years to show the kids what I'd put together back then at their age, it still fired straight up Charred the wick a little but worked fine.
