In retrospect I wish I had taken your advice Harry and purchased this one because nowadays
they want $50 for these and I've still not found a yellow one.

I am a frequent seller on EBay myself, but I can't stand these crooked a--wipes.  They make all merchants look bad.  Bad enough that people refuse to do business with us, preferring to do business with those giant department stores in shopping centers.

Well, a few days ago I found a certain Telephone shaped Clock that is usually priced
at stupid money for around $25 in fairly good condition, in fact to be perfectly honest
it's in a lot better condition then most out there that their asking $150 and up for.
Anyway it arrived safely and I cleaned it up a bit and got the clock running again and
the lighter still worked thankfully. Yes its a Clock and Cigar lighter, in the shape of a telephone.
You push in the brass button on the receiver end and the lighter glows to light your cigar, etc.

Yeah I know, my photos suck but, I forgot to get photos of it before finding a place for it and plugging it in
and I got lazy and just took them under poor lighting conditions.

Pretty Cool! Which part glows? The transmitter end?

Yes sir, that's the glow coil.
