WW1 Trench Lighter – 1918-Style Automatic Ejection

WW1 trench lighter with a 1918-style automatic ejection mechanism, engraved metal surfaces, and a refillable wick ignition system. The supplier lists this model as a 1918 automatic-ejection trench kerosene lighter. Flare presents it as a modern WW1-inspired design and does not claim that it is an original First World War military antique.

1918-style automatic ejection mechanism

The compact body uses a push-and-release action that automatically exposes the wick area for ignition. A flint wheel creates the spark, while the spring-assisted opening gives the lighter the mechanical movement associated with trench-style designs. The supplier offers multiple engraved finishes and surface patterns rather than one plain body.

Engraved WW1-inspired design options

Initial Flare options include an Aged Stone Texture and a V for Vendetta engraving. Additional supplier patterns will only be added after each SKU, price, and image is individually verified. The aged finish gives the lighter a more weathered appearance, while engraved variants add decorative artwork to the same 1918-style mechanism.

Refillable wick lighter shipped empty

This WW1 trench lighter uses a refillable wick-and-flint system. It ships empty with no fuel included; add suitable lighter fuel only after delivery. Replace the flint and wick as needed during normal use. The supplier does not currently document exact weight or dimensions, so Flare uses its standard 72 g fallback shipping weight and leaves dimensions blank until verified.
