Description
A novelty naphtha semi-automatic lighter produced by Negbaur. This lighter is designed to look like a Canon de 75 modèle 1897 (French 75mm field gun). The actual lighter portion is removable from the cannon and is activated by pressing the "breech-block." This is a semi-automatic lighter as it requires the user to manually extinguish the flame by lowering the cover onto the wick.
