And quite rare.

The Lighter Cufflinks are the same vintage collector's items which were sold across gumball machines back in the 50s. Some cat from Etsy was able to get his hand on a number of them, all unused and (supposedly) in working order. The sharp-looking accessories rock a complete fire-creation set, including a flint, wheel and space for lighter fluid (accessible via a screw bottom). Each piece sports standard cufflink dimensions, with a bullet back enclosure so it can fit all varieties of buttonhole sizes.

Back in the 1950s, when I was a whippersnapper, they'd be found in the 5c gumball machines as a prize inside those little plastic bubbles. Novelty and joke stores sold them too. I recall that I never got one to work although the mechanism seems like it should have.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hey I actually have a couple of those somewhere in my storage. My dad use to have a lighter collection and two of those tiny little lighters were in it.
