Collector lighter? Worth anything?

Sierra

Can someone PLEASE tell me how much these lighters go for? I am aware it has two scratches on the front. I heard the "real" ones are worth some money but the knock off's are cheap. I've also hear they dont make these anymore? It was my Grandmothers and she loved it because her name was Gloria. I've kept it all these years for sentimental value. I just want to know what I have? I don't know anything about these! I wanted to refill it and learned you have to have a special charged refiller?! Please give me some info!!

I googled it,....  found one just like yours on ebay for $45. I'm guessing from what I see online is that particular promotional design for this style lighter is no longer available, but other lighters of the same model with different promotional logos are available at around $40.

Also found an old thread discussing how this lighter functions.

You may be able to refill it using a standard butane can, or if the fill tube on the butane can does not fit your lighter's nozzle, you might be able to use an adapter that allows a standard butane can to fit unusual fill nozzles. I have a plastic one that came with one of my butane cans. It has about six different size adapters all arranged together on one ring. (similar to this photo)

I need me some of whatever Bob is on. He's too nice to be all natural.

It's his new found love of sardines to blame....

Wait, what? You can smoke sardines? Aren’t they kinda hard to light? 😝

Hmm, you can paste an image without first having hit a tool icon now.
