There is a large antique/yard sale today at the Silverton Casino. The wife and I went to kill some time/get out of the house.
I picked up this IM Corona for $15:

Hopefully I can get at least one of them to work.

If you refer to the same ones Woodsroad, myself and others have gotten, they are not cheesy. I am wondering if they are even knockoffs, or a container ship trucker misdirected a load or two.

Yes , I wax poetic , I’m hoping they are reasonabl good lighters , the pictures look good . One of them had specs and it seemed weighty , 80 grams hefty like the im corona.
So for the price it’s worth it.

My Corona Old Boy weighs 74 gr and the SI DuPont weighs 144 Grams. (Both with fuel, so not totally on actual weight) The Chinese sold lighters are built like brick outhouses, very well made.

Good to hear . Its easy to make something identical in appearance , if the materials and workmanship are good , bonus .
