Editorial Reviews

Review

The additional guide to the original Collecting Cigarette Lighters- A Price Guide is the perfect companion to the serious collector of smoking paraphernalia. Altogether different contents from Volume I, this volume provides a broader view of the lighter realm. The major producers as listed for the first volume are included, as well as a generous selection of lesser known manufacturers. Entirely in full color, these brilliant items will bring the spark of life back to any collection. 1995 VALUES -- Book Description

2.0 out of 5 stars Photos features primarily the lowest quality of lighters, June 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Collecting cigarette lighters: A price guide (Paperback)

This book appears to be a catalog of cigarette lighters that are widely available. It appears quality was not a consideration in the selection of these lighters (mostly japanese and low quality junk from the 50's-60's). These are, by and large not the items that have turned lighter collecting in to the popular hobby it is today. The saving grace of this book is the fact that it also includes about 70 pages of old catalog reprints showing some of the higher quality lighters available from the 20's-30's. It would have been nice to see some actual photographs of these lighters instead of the black and white and color drawings used in these vintage ads. However, these ads save the book, if not for these ads, the lighters photographed for this book would make it a good guide for what not to avoid in lighter collecting.
