Thanks for all your replies, Scott. But I need to accent that I and vast majority of lighter collectors TOTALLY disagree with your definitions of Trench Art. There were lot of discussions over the ye...
If today some factory melts that lighter and use the brass for making, let's say, a candle holder - would you consider it a Trench Art?
Yes, after The Great War cartridges were melted and brass was used for making these lighters. Unfortunately IMCO factory and archives was destroyed at the end of WWII so there is a very little docume...
scott, That's not IMCO website. Cartridges were never used but brass of the cartridges as a material and lighters were produced in the factory. You can call this lighter a Faberge if you wish. But...

Thank you for reading, AzTom. I would say I am a average collector with special interest in IMCO lighters. Maybe I could post some from my collection, you are right.
Hello all. I am sorry but I have to make some corrections here. I know it is old topic but I have to reply for the truth. Fact is this is NOT a WWII lighter but a cheap replica of between WW's perio...
Hi LHafer. Price was Japanese manufacturer of cigarette lighters during 60's and 70's. Their lighters are quite common but also produced some very interesting and unusuall pieces.
