FOR SALE: Nipper / RCA Cigarette Lighter - $40

I am selling a Nipper / RCA cigarette lighter. The hinge that holds the lid needs attention and the lid separates from the rest of the lighter. As you can see, it displays nicely. Because it needs repair, the price is $40 and that includes postage to an address in the states. It goes to the first person to PM "SOLD!".
Thanks, Jerry Blais

FYI, Zippo will repair any of their lighters ever made. See

Made with pride in Bradford, PA!
Just don't use them to light cigarettes, cigars, or pipes!

You're right. Ernie Kovacs always insisted that a fine cigar needed to be lit with a stick match, and I agree.

One thing to check, is it a Zippo?

Good old Ernie K, one of TV's pioneers and a truly creative guy. Who could forget Percy Dovetonsils, poet extraordinaire? Brings back vivid memories of TV in the 1950s!

Once it's restored and working, it can be used to burn crap-0-phones, and up-cycled, and re-purposed junk!!!

I was surprised to see an interview with Ernie where he was lighting his cigar with a book of paper matches. He must've run out of wooden ones.

I forgot to ask, will standard flints fit into this lighter, after it is restored??
