My New NOS IMCO Streamline 6800

[mikethompson]

Been on the lookout for one for a while, and found a seller on ebay that had some NOS units. How could I resist?

Purchased, then waited a month over its anticipated delivery date. Seller gave me a full refund. Just got lost in the mail I guess. Yesterday guess what shows up?

I emailed the seller and settled up with him.

Very much an 'Art Deco' feel.

Is that for looks? Or for use?

Nice! It's from Austria too ?

Agreed, the detail on the case reminds me of art deco as well.

Thanks Scott, and so it is!

They are awesome as you can pull out the lit fuel tank and use it as a candle or to light your pipe. Try it!

to light your pipe

That's the idea, I think the lit tank will be easier to maneuver around than my Zippo. Hopefully it doesn't leak fluid like my Zippo either.

I recall having those back in the days,they were very popular amongst seamen, but yes based on my experience the fuel in these will not evaporate as quick as with Zippos, refueling is less and its more practical in handling,though not odeur free'
