"My father started collecting lighters some twenty years ago. He was a passionate collector who was eager to share his hobby and the general love for collecting. The last couple of years of his life we started together visit flea markets, fairs and browsing on-line auctions. After his passing it felt natural for me to continue his hobby after inheriting his collection. The last six years I myself have found tremendous pleasure in hunting and finding new pieces to add to my collection. I love enameled striker lighters and appreciate the great mechanism of old petrol lighters." (VI)
