What're the odds that we're all bidding against each other for the same lighters?

Probably pretty good, considering how I keep getting outbid by someone very persistent :facepalm

Let me guess, you're going for a nice gold Dunhil rollagas from Japan?

Fairly certain this is that spongey sorta stuff they line the ground at playgrounds with

more or less this stuff

sorry for the australian link, just looking for what i can obtain myself. fair idea for the rest of you folks though

I'd actually guess that it is florist's foam

I’ve never seen it like that. I guess I’ll find out today when I go see a florist or two haha

It's used by a bunch of people as easy to mould with with a bit of heat. It's what i'd use for the cufflinks as it keeps its shape and can easily be made to hold the cufflink.

sevsevsevyo the umbrella was just a 'close enough' match.

i re-stained the handle and tip and added the cut piece of brass from some hobby metal I had. Came out okay.

i also like your idea of defusing the lights, I'll definitely give that a go

oh i see! i was thinking of doing the same thing, so i guess that’ll be ideal haha

Yeah I think that's right. Hobby shops should also carry it. It comes in a dark grey, in addition to the usual green you see.

Would be cool if someone could engrave a brass ring with this for those with similar to screen-used umbrellas

looks quite thick of a label

I could engrave with the laser cutter but have no access to a mill or metal lathe to turn the brass. If you ever get a few of the right pieces and want them etched maybe we could work out a trade

 

[Risu]

You have a laser cutter that can engrave brass?

If nobody else comes up with a solution and we can settle on a diameter that works for everybody, I could see about getting a batch of them made.

 

[sevsevsevyo]

If you’re in Australia, sure haha

Here’s an affordable “close enough” umbrella I’ve just ordered. For display, this needs minimal work, like Mechanized’s.

And here’s the exact Imco lighter from the far right of the display

maybe you could be the engraver for Risu’s interest thread regarding the cufflinks?
it should be easy enough to find some plain links in that shape and get a heap engraved at once!
EDIT: That wouldn’t work. They need to be plated after engraving, i’m a doofus. Some plain steel cufflinks or something, engraved, then plated.

Looks like a laphroaig bottle to me.

Here's a cap:

At first, I felt like it was one of the standard Old Forester bottles, which would make sense when they were in charge of anything whiskey, but I think you're right.
It may be a custom, Knappogue Castle one would be ideal. The bulbous neck looks a bit shorter on this compared to the Kingsman bottle
