It is so wonderful to hear that this lighter brings back such fond memories of relatives and their generosity.

peck and pipestud, very funny. I haven't been called a nimrod in over 30 years. I appreciate you guys breaking out and oldy but goody.

I would really like to find a good condition, working Nimrod lighter. I think they are the bee's knees when it comes to design.

But "nimrod" has two meanings- perhaps they meant the great hunter! Well, prolly knot.

Also a fine naval patrol aircraft of the RAF that was in service for nearly 50 years.
Also an early carrier-launched biplane fighter.

The company that made the lighter originally made bolts for the Nimrod airplane.

Ward Manufacturing which manufactured the Nimrod Pipeliter also produced the Nimrod line of camping trailers:

My parents had one very similar to that shown above, and it was our abode for summer excursions to Michigan where we enjoyed their fine state parks.
