Everflow table lighters are a variation of the Quercia Eclair produced after World War 2 during the late '40s. Though based on Marcel Quercia's 1930 semi-automatic mechanism design, the Everflow uses a distinctive coil-type spring to actuate its mechanism. This is both a visible distinction for identification and a notable improvement to the original design. Everflow Lighters were only produced with plastic and wooden bases, all-metal designs were not offered. (EB)
