What is this thing?

HERE ARE SOME OF THE ANSWERS:

1. Trench Lighter

I’ve got one from my father. The original version was often made from spent rounds. You can use the cartridge and make a few modifications to create a lighter. I had a twenty-caliber case with an old threepenny coin soldered in the base, and that too was a lighter.

2. Army Lighter

It’s designed to light in the wind while covering the flame, so you wouldn’t get your face shot off.

3. Replica Lighter

It is a lighter, though it’s likely a replica.

4. Miniature Nuclear Bomb

It’s a hand grenade. DON’T pull the pin!!

5. Austrian IMCO Lighter

This looks like a copy of an Austrian 1920s IMCO windproof lighter.

6. Treadle Sewing Machine Bobbin

It resembles a bobbin for an old treadle sewing machine.

7. Brass Lighter

It’s a lighter, and I’ve got one made of brass.

8. Windless Lighter

This is a windless lighter. It’s hard to find parts for it, but it’s well worth the effort to make it work. Awesome find!

9. Miniature German Hand Grenade

Trained suicide ferrets used this in WWI. They ran up your pants leg and detonated it at a critical junction, thus damaging many Privates’ privates.

10. Military Torchlight
