One (1), Rare, New Old Stock Clipper cigarette lighter by Barcelona, Spain lighter company Flamagas from their now out of production Gasoline product-line which was part of their Metal by Clipper series.

In the UK, they call this a petrol lighter. It’s never been filled. I will not fill it for shipping reasons. You’ll need to fill it with lighter fluid (NOT butane) for it to work.

Comes with box, papers, etc., as pictured. The papers don't indicate specs for this Gasoline model, so please read what I noted below for that info. I don’t use stock photos, but for your reference, I’ve posted some pictures from the internet of the marketing shots used for this product. It was mostly marketed in the United Kingdom (where I bought this one) and some were sold on Amazon as well.

The Clipper Gasoline lighter contains cotton, a wick, and a replaceable flint just like any refillable lighter that takes lighter fluid. All other Clipper lighters take butane, so this was a unique, special lighter that the company came out with. They came in a choice of polished or brushed finish.

This one is brushed finish. I prefer this variety since all polished finish lighters seem to retain marks from fingerprints. Compared to my brushed chrome finish Zippo, this lighter has a darker, less white coloration. It measures approx. 3 inches tall.

It’s a weighty, metal lighter. Like all reusable, refillable Clippers, this lighter has an ignition component part which you can pull out by grabbing the metal spark wheel. The flint barrel is plastic. At the bottom of this part (doubles as a packing tool), you open it up to replace the flint. Not that you’d necessarily ever have to replace this component, but it is replaceable.

For this Gasoline lighter, which is basically the same size as any large or regular size Clipper, oddly enough, the replaceable ignition component part is the same that's used in the mini (small) size Clippers. If you want spare parts, you could buy the ignition components (mini size) themselves or buy mini Clippers (the inexpensive plastic variety) and use the parts from them.

Since this lighter utilizes the mini ignition component, you’ll need to use Clipper Universal Flints. These are marginally smaller than flints by the likes of Zippo and Ronson. Flints by companies like Zippo will not fit this lighter. Clipper brand flints are inexpensive and readily available on eBay. You can of course use any brand of lighter fluid you want.

Flamagas / Clipper is owned by the fashion and fragrance house of Puig (Jean Paul Gaultier, L’Artisan Parfumeur, etc.). The Mid-century Modern (MCM) design of Clipper lighters was created ca. 1970 by Enric Sarda.

Metal by Clipper lighters are fashionable / classy ‘going out’ lighters whereas Zippos are military style ‘daily beater’ type lighters. Both are great. This Clipper is a rarity for the collector and OOP (out of production), but most other Metal by Clipper lighters should be affordable like Zippos at around 15 USD or less.
