BTW, I finally got around to buying myself an old lighter I used to have in my teens. It was called a Beattie-Jet. It was like a Zippo, but shot a flame about 10" from a pipe when tilted. Any of you folks ever heard of them?

I'm telling you, it's gonna be a collecter's item.

The ones I'm getting don't have those engravings on them, though.

That's quite a lighter. Does it still work?

No, I've never heard of them. I used to have a replica of a WWII era Zippo type lighter. I can't remember what kind of lighter it was, but I picked it up at a Harley Davidson store about 10 years ago. It had an arm with a cap that went over the wheel. The wheel was turned 90 degrees from what they are now. It was pretty cool, but probably not a collector's item.
