my poppa made one of the first shaped skis back in the day. the dude that helped him design it is the head engineer at blizzard/nordica/dynafit. he hooked it up.
thats classy as fuck. not to burst your bubble and i hope for your sake im wrong but a lot of those "vintage" lighters made in asia are fake. but either way thats one of the sickest lighters ive seen
I did say japan, not thailand, or taiwan, or korea. and its not from a store, but purchased from a collector who was also selling several dunhills and some other rarer lighters at the same time. I trust its authenticity.
look at the corona old boy, its a pipe lighter, but you can switch the flame to vertical unlike most pipe lighters. you can find them on ebay occasionally for around 50 used.
