WW2 British Soldier's ‘Tommy Pipe’ Lighter.

Was £35 now £25

In addition to tea, smoking was one of the most important comforts available to troops. Small petrol lighters were not issue items but were carried, at least by the end of the war, in the pockets of most Tommy’s. Being able to light a flame is a very useful thing for a soldier so that he can smoke a cigarette, ‘brew-up, heat through some food or give himself some light.

This example is of the rarer ‘pipe’ lighter, who’s top, unlike the normal lighter, didn’t come off but when pulled up left a hole that could be placed over the bowl of the pipe.

Not tested.
