Submarine Lighter – Vintage-Style Mechanical Wick Design

Submarine Lighter with Vintage-Inspired Mechanical Ignition

This submarine lighter takes its shape from a compact, cylindrical submarine-style silhouette rather than a conventional hinged rectangular lighter. A gold-tone, textured metal body carries a small linked ignition mechanism with a flint wheel and exposed wick. The design shown is a modern, vintage-inspired novelty lighter, not a genuine Second World War artifact.

A Knurled Cylinder with a Linked Ignition Mechanism

The supplier’s original product photographs show a cylindrical body, ridged end detailing, a small top-mounted linkage and a flint-wheel mechanism. The button-and-linkage arrangement is designed to move the ignition assembly. The finish has a warm metallic gold tone with a textured, knurled section. Because the supplier only specifies metal in its material parameters, this listing does not claim the body is solid brass.

Unlike a classic flip-top rectangular model, the long cylindrical shape and exposed mechanism make this piece particularly recognizable as a vintage-inspired EDC design. Refer to the product photographs for its actual appearance.

Wick Lighter with an Open Flame

The source listing identifies the mechanism as a refillable liquid-fuel wick lighter with flint-wheel ignition. This is an open-flame design and the supplier’s specification says it is not windproof. No claim is made about a measured burn duration, fuel capacity, tested waterproofing, historical provenance or internal metal composition.

One Lighter, Without a Fuel Bundle

This product page is for one base-model lighter in the finish shown. The supplier also displays separate standard and deluxe packages, but those include lighter fluid and accessories; those packages are not offered in this international listing. For international shipping, the lighter is sent empty and without fuel. A fuel can, fuel bottle, extra flints, spare wick and presentation box are not advertised as included.

To use the lighter, add an appropriate wick-lighter fuel according to the device instructions. Keep it away from children and heat sources, never refill near a flame and allow the lighter to cool before storing. Do not touch the ignition mechanism while the flame is lit.
