Beautiful delicate objects...they don't self thread..just do not require threading...a subtle difference I feel.

Lucky Irish Leprechaun Lighter

Another boot sale find.
I now have 3 lighters which means to my mom that I have a collection.
I can clearly remember as a very small child being given an old lighter and a screw driver to play with...I loved fetching it apart and putting it back together. I was never happier then when I was in my dads Garage sorting through the boxes of rusty things. (not so keen on the spidfers though).
