<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 224931, member: 44&quot;]Here is a lighter (Auermetall) very similar if not the same to this one on the <i>Vintage Cigarette Lighter </i>website. It has a patent date of Nov. 27, 1906. The description says the actual lighter probably wasn&#039;t patented with that the patent date of a Welsbach&#039;s type of flint. Even after editing the pic of the bottom of the lighter, I still have no idea what it says. The date looks like &quot;Pat. Nov. 23th, 1906,&quot; which if so then 3 days off of the date on Auermetall lighters; however, if it says the 27th then it is probably the same lighter.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the 11th lighter down:</p><p><a href="http://www.toledo-bend.com/VCL/lighters/index.asp?request=lighters012" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.toledo-bend.com/VCL/lighters/index.asp?request=lighters012" rel="nofollow">http://www.toledo-bend.com/VCL/lighters/index.asp?request=lighters012</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the Welbach&#039;s flint patent of Nov. 27, 1906:</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/patents/US837017" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/patents/US837017" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/patents/US837017</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
