The
Ronson Standard in chromium with vertical lines that matches the one in Bogart's movie
In A Lonely Place.
What a pain. Stuck flint (again as usual) and then putting it back together it was extra "slippery" for some reason and then it still wouldn't work two more times. I was sure I had it together right. Well, there was a tiny bit of flint that escaped the bottle brush, as it turns out. I scraped it off the opening of the tube with a screwdriver. It's always a good idea to drop a flint through the bottom flint tube and see if it easily falls out the top end when it's apart. Skipping that step lead to this grief. The fuel cap also didn't want to come loose (I thought this was a pocket lighter; it had the same stuck seal but fortunately had enough bite on the screw to force it open). Anyway....
