Antique Lighter
« on: December 25, 2014, 05:49:58 am »
Hey guys,
I was going through my dads old draw and found this old lighter with the brand Ballantyne stamped into it, i tried to do some research on it but i have found absolutely nothing at all! I was hoping someone on here could help me out with my quest to find out what it is and how I can fix it!

Are you sure that's the correct spelling ??  Are you sure its a cigarette lighter ??  Really need more pics and the one of the name I asked for earlier !! Ballentine whiskey had a few promo lighters made by Zippo !!
