I recently was given a large cabinet filled with old tools and finally got around to going through it today, while taking inventory I happened across an old lighter, it's a Ronson Adonis which dates from the 1940's, these came in a few different models the nicest of which was made of solid sterling silver, I got lucky it the sterling model, they sold for $25 new in the 40's which is the equivalent of approx. $325 today, I polished it up, put in a flint and some fuel in it and presto!, it worked on the first try...
