Last Sunday at one antique market I found this lighter which was totally new to me. I bought it because I liked the design which is quite similar to the AP or SAFFA (Scintilla). When I arrived at home it took to me quite a long time to understand how I can fuel it and also how can replace the flint. At the end I was successfull and I shot a short video to show it.

In any case this is a Germany product which was produced in the 40th.

One of the main problem of Ibelo gas-lighters collectors is to find the right/original gas bottle to fill-in these. The reason is that Ibelo like Myon used a particular valve and therefore you have normally no choices as to find and buy the original one which are now disappering from the market as are no more produced. Now a good friend of mine developed a particular adapter which work with most of the common gas bottle. See pictures here below or look in the forum (German description)

SAFFA (Società Anonima Fabbriche Fiammiferi e Affini) became one of my fovourite lighter manufacture. The main reason is that it's italian, as me

In the last couple of months I could add different model to my collections and more are exepected in the next days

I couldn't say know in buying this nice lighter. I'm sure that after you see the pictures you'll understand the reason

unfortunately I couldn't find the time to update my sites in the last couple of weeks but in any case I didn't stop to search for new lighters and I would like to appoint your attention to some of these. Hopefully from now on I would be able to make some regular updates.
