Windproof Vintage WWII Lighters for Sailors, Shepherds, Outdoor Camping

This unique lighter, also known as a "shepherd's lighter" or "rope lighter," does not require conventional fuel or a flame to operate. The method involves striking the attached flint wheel to generate sparks, which are then caught on a charred cotton rope that has been partially withdrawn from a metal tube housing. This lightweight and convenient design (weighing only 37.3g per piece) was often used during WWII due to its covert, flame-less feature.

The windproof nature of this lighter was particularly advantageous for shepherds working in windy fields, as it allowed them to easily create a live ember that, when combined with tinder, could be coaxed into a flame for starting campfires. The rope can be replaced once it has been used up, making this a reliable and versatile tool for various outdoor activities, such as camping.

To use the rope lighter, simply strike the flint wheel to create sparks, which will ignite the charred cotton rope. Once an ember is generated, it can be extinguished by retracting the cord back into the metal tube and closing the attached lid. This flame-less design made the rope lighter somewhat covert and well-suited for use during WWII.

Overall, this unique rope lighter offers a convenient and windproof solution for lighting campfires, cigarettes, and other outdoor activities, without the need for traditional fuel or a flame. Its versatility and covert design make it a valuable tool for a variety of applications.
