Thanks for the additional info guys.  I'll look into some of your suggestions.

I was wondering if anyone still makes those old WW-I style 'trench' lighters anymore.  From what I've read about them, they're supposed to be both durable and reliable.

Well if you're near Hillsville, Virginia and can make it to the flea market tomorrow, I saw several of them up there, made by Camel, I think, that ran between $25-30.  I know of a place near me that had one for $40+. :/

Thanks for the info, but I despise flea-bay... their predatory credit card practices and how they put the screws to small sellers.  The last time I bought something there, they signed me up for one of their credit cards without my knowledge, made the payment with that card, and never sent me a statement until I owed them late fees.  I wouldn't buy anything off their site if someone had a gun to my head.

I found one of the IMCO models on the 'woman warrior' site, for $10.  I'm interested to see how it does.
