VINTAGE ANTIQUE MEB CYCLONE LIGHTER MADE IN AUSTRIA
Переглядів 235Місяць тому
This is a Max E. Bernhardt Cyclone lighter that was made in Austria. This is a 100 year old lighter and a precursor of the Zippo lighter. There are conflicting stories as to what type of lighter it actually was that inspired George G. Blaisdell to create the Zippo lighter we all know and love today. Three lighters have been mentioned in articles I've read. Those being the Hurricane, the Cyklon,...

Wonderful! 😊 That chart you have is handy for collectors and the fact you have a Cummins diesel branded Zippo is cool. 😎
I printed the chart of of Zippo's web page. It definitely comes in handy when I make videos. This is actually my first Cummins Zippo. I had to look up the company to learn more about what they do.
Hmm, good idea with that rubber gasket. 🤔🙂 I can cut something similar out at home, just wondering if leakage is really an issue with Zippo's? I mean if they leak at the bottom the fuel has nowhere to go, right? 😊🙂
The fuel evaporates after a while. It doesn't really leak out of the case. Petrol lighters, like Zippos work off the fumes of the fluid. The idea with these rubber gaskets was to help with fuel evaporation. I went back to just using the felt pad that comes with the Zippo originally since I really didn't see much difference in evaporation. The only time fluid would actually leak from a Zippo is if it is overfilled with fluid. Some people use a small piece of a plastic sandwich bag to cover the bottom of the insert to help with evaporation.
@@zippolyonsden1623 Ok, thanks for getting back to me. 😊 It seems we can stuff the housing with all manner of absorbent material, as long as the wick gets a good padding aound it. (I have a Glow in the dark Ghost Compass Zippo.) 😃
I use regular cotton balls in my daily carry Zippo. Just make sure not to over pack the insert and have the wick run through the wadding in an "S" shape. They're not packed correctly in the factory. The wadding that comes with Zippos from the factory are rayon balls which is basically a synthetic cotton. The glow in the dark Zippos are really cool! I only own one glow in the dark one. The one where there is an alien ufo trying to beam up a cow, lol.
@@zippolyonsden1623 😊 Thankyou for replying, I've noticed my flint is getting short, like maybe 2mm deep so I wrestled a flint out of a Bic lighter but the wheel won't spin.. 😯 I'm thinkin' the flint is too long, putting too much pressure on the striking wheel. Maybe if I cut it in half it would go alright? It's about 6mm long..?
It may be too long. Maybe loosen the spring screw a little bit and see if that helps. I've never tried a Bic flint in my Zippo before. Zippo flints will work even when worn down to just a couple mm. I usually do not change mine until they do not spark anymore.
That’s a beautiful lighter
It definitely will hold a special place in my collection. I've been able to find out a lot about the soldier who originally owned it as well. Turns out he was from Wisconsin as well.
Beautiful lighter. I remember those when I was a kid in the 60’s
It definitely is in beautiful shape. I was surprised when I saw it.
Something I do not have, very nice!
Thank you. It was definitely a good find. Found it at the same place where I picked up the 1942 WWII Zippo.
U lucky lucky b*******🙏great find kiddo
Thank you. I was definitely lucky finding it and for the price!
Beautiful Lossproof Zippo!
It really is in great shape! I was quite surprised when I found it.
Nice
Get it to his relatives 😂😂
He past away in 1974 and both of his children have also passed away. His son in 2020. It was one of his grandchildren that sold it to the place I acquired it from.
Sounds amazing!
It does have a really sweet sound. I can only imagine how long it's been since it was last used.
i want to buy it
Sorry, it's not for sale.
@@zippolyonsden1623 thanks bro
A great piece of history you got there! Great job on the restoration! Still works like a champ! Love that click sound too very strong and loud!
My mother just passed away and my wife found a zippo tape measure like these in her purse she used for measuring for curtains and blinds, it says comat inc blanchester ohio on it
I am very sorry to hear your mother passed away. My condolences to you and your family. That is very cool you have that Zippo tape measure to remind you of her. Was that a place she or someone in your family once worked at?
I just pressed buy after watching this video so thank you!
It really is a sweet looking Zippo!
"Non-Zippo Items?" Those are Zippo as Zippo gets in Tape Measures, Bruh. Might wanna' edit the beginning a bit. Just sayin'....
Damn! I didn't even realize that error. Thank you for pointing it out. I was thinking non-lighter items when I made this video. Will probably just delete this video soon. I record all my vids with just my phone in one take. I don't have any editing options.
Beautiful old Zippo and with a cool history
It definitely is a real beauty. Turns out the soldier whose name is on it was from the same area of Wisconsin that my family stems from. He was the same age as my grandfather. Makes me wonder if they knew one another.
I have a spare authentic camp spring if u need it. I was saving it for mine but I never got one.
Oh, cool! May have to take you up on that. I'm waiting for the tool I need in order to rivet the spring in correctly. The one I currently have is too big. It's made for the flat and not the humped cam springs. Should be here by the end of the month.
@@zippolyonsden1623 I have the proper spring rivets also. Ordered 200 of them lol
Great find terry !!!
Awesome find 👍🏻💯
I'm still in a state of shock, lol
@@zippolyonsden1623 I would be as well 👍🏻
I found an obituary for him. He was a military police sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, and later was a police officer. There are some notes in his hometown newspaper about letters he wrote home during the war. You can search for him in the Door County Library newspaper archive.
That is so cool!!! That is the same guy I had found as well!! Thank you for finding his actual obituary. For me, it's really cool to find out he was from Door County as well. My family stems from there. Next time I'm in Sturgeon Bay, I'll have to stop at their library and print out his obituary. He definitely saw a lot of action during WWII.
@@zippolyonsden1623 One of his letters from North Africa mentioned the Red Cross care packages they were getting from home with fruit, candy, and cigarettes. The whole letters aren't published in the newspaper, just little bits the parents must have told to the editor or a reporter. It sounds a lot like the stories in that Ernie Pyle book!
@Shorty43204 that sound really friggin' cool! I so need to look up his obituary.
That’s so cool !!! Love when there’s a hero behind the zippo
I've just been looking at the site Shorty mentioned. The guy who owned this Zippo may have actually known my Grandfather Lyons. They grew up in the same area and had to have attended school together.
Some nice pick ups
Three beautiful lighters
Thank you very much.
came to see what the 40k sounding lighter I just ordered is like. I'd it classy as promised. And you have the same exact finish type and color!! My enamel is worn so I'm getting some sign enamel paint to redo it in royal blue or something.
It would look really cool in blue! I've been thinking about getting into repainting some of my older lighters that could use it.
how can i replace the wick? new to this lighter. thanks
This particular model is a butane lighter and doesn't have a wick.
do u have a link for there store?
?
@@someone-mz4fg a.aliexpress.com/_mtLT6sc
Took me a bit to find it again. They're cheaper now as well than when I got the one in the video.
@@zippolyonsden1623 thanks much appreciated
Very welcome. It took me a bit to remember how to copy the link, lol.
So amazing
It really is a sweet lighter. Very well constructed.
I see you like copper
They do look pretty. Ended up getting the 2003 for $10 off Facebook marketplace and was instantly hooked, lol.
@@zippolyonsden1623 sweet deal
Man I’d love to have one of those display cases
I was very fortunate to have found one on Facebook marketplace a couple years ago for a really good price. The smaller one an old friend gave me.
Only true Zippo enthusiasts would appreciate such a replica because it would be the closest most of us will ever get to having or seeing a real Earnie Pyle Zippo. Kudos to Rileys66 for having the vision to do an awesome tribute lighter to preserve the historical meaning behind this Zippo.
Fully agree. I know I'll most likely never own an authentic one. Which makes this one a great addition to my collection. I, too, also appreciate that Riley's 66 and the Ernie Pyle Legacy Foundation decided to produce these Zippos. Ernie Pyle really is an icon of American WWII history.
I meant to ask this question. I wonder if they are doing a limited run on these?
That's a very good question. I honestly do not know what the production run is on these.
@@zippolyonsden1623 Maybe Riley's 66 will chime in on this one.🙂
Very nice tribute video. 👍
Thank you very much
@zippolyonsden1623 Your very welcome.
Looks very cool. Some very nice Zippo’s
Thank you. They look better in the case than sitting in a cigar box, lol.
Hell yeah
It does look good.
So shiny! It would be cool to see a small wall covered in high polish Zippos to see if it worked as a mirror
That would be cool to see. My guess is it would act exactly like a mirror. I'm always trying to keep my reflection off camera, lol.
Very nice
I really think it is a nice piece for my collection.
Our library has some of his books, I'm gonna check it out this weekend!
Very cool they have some of his writings! They are definitely good reads! Filled with lots of info as to how it was during the war for the American troops.
Cool lighter. I got the brushed chrome version. I actually use mine. I believe in using the zippos for what they’re made for. The only ones I don’t use are the collectible ones zippo puts out every year
I'm thinking about getting the chrome version as well. I have about four lighters I rotate periodically for use at home or while out and about. One with a pipe insert the rest with regular inserts.
Outstanding video…thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you very much! This Zippo makes an excellent addition to my military collection.
Pretty lacklustre zippo. Only a word engraving on it. Woulda been nice to get some detail or imagery on there lol. I won’t be wasting my money on it.
Fully understand your reasoning. I like the history associated with what it represents. Ernie Pyle's books have been really interesting to read. I know I'll never see a real 1945 one, much less own one, lol. So this is the next best thing for me. I'm always wasting my money, lol 😆
I disagree with ZF77O on this one. It is a tribute to one of the worlds greatest journalists who paid the ultimate price for doing his job. As zf77o is Canadian I can understand this one wouldn't have much meaning to him, but as an American I Love that they paid tribute to him. It's well deserved and worth every penny it cost to show due respect. 🇺🇸
@zippolyonsden1623 I bought one from Rileys 66, IMHO It's well worth the money, even though its not the original,and might buy another one. 🙂
@@Gary-ks8rz I completely agree with you.
Back when the news media actually did their jobs. This man is an American icon. Very nice addition to your collection.
Fully agree with all of what you wrote. I'm actually a bit surprised how many people I know never heard of Ernie. Even people who get into WWII history.
Beautiful table lighter
Roseart did make some really beautiful table lighters.
