Blast from the past : Genie gives you a light

[El Presidente]

Can't say I have seen a lighter like this before 

Tiffany & Co. Sterling Aladdin Cigar Lighter with Snake Handle. Made by Richard Crossley, London, England, Circa 1927

 

 

 

 

 

[Fuzz]

Vintage Dunhill Aladdin's Lamp lighter circa 1938. You lit the wick by pushing down on the plunger on the top, which activated the flap and spark igniter. Lifting the plunger will drop the flap, extinguishing the lighter.

This version is from 1952

 

They were also known as Roman Lamps.

[The Squiggler]

I suppose you could also light a cigar with a traditional Roman oil lamp if you wanted to ?

might be a little sooty though
