Wish I still had them.

I did pick up a REALLY old IM Corona cigarette lighter off Ebay many years ago. I never did get it running well. It was also a piezo electric ignition so that may have been the problem. I always seem to do better with flint lighters when lighter life is concerned.

Knowing what I know now, I'd take any IM Corona flint lighter over a similar lighter from Dupont. Both are very good. One is much more affordably priced. One is a functional art piece.
