    Default Anybody here also collect vintage lighter?

    I'm not a smoker, but I find lighters to be quite fascinating in terms of its mechanical properties and the varieties.

    Those St. Dupont lighters are snazzy-looking.

    Do you collect lighters? Is there like a community of lighter fans, just like fountain pen fans?

    My grandparents had two magnificent heavy, elaborate chased silver table lighters, which I inherited. How I wish I still had them.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!

    There's this one:

    http://forum.table-lighters.com/

    but it doesn't seem to very active. I found several other lighter sites in club format.

    Also this:

    I found this one:

    otls.com (On The Lighter Side). Pay membership -type club that looks like pretty active, they organize conventions etc.

    I just let two of my ST Duponts go during a charity auction; the Cigar Band Ligne 2 that I carried and used daily for many years and a Moon Ligne 2 from the Sun & Moon collection that was given me as a gift.





    I still have the Vertigo Ligne 2 lighter.
