Title (≤80 characters) Vintage TRANSFO Mechanical Cigarette Lighter c.1949 No Gas No Flame Description Vintage TRANSFO mechanical cigarette lighter dating from around 1949–1951, featuring a very unusual ignition system. This innovative lighter was advertised at the time as working without petrol, gas, batteries, wick, flame, or chemicals. Instead, the clever internal mechanism creates a spark when the lever is twisted and the user draws on the cigarette or pipe. It was marketed as stormproof and usable in almost any weather, making it a fascinating example of post-war mechanical design.
