    Just as well the Swiss dudes who made the solid sterling silver
    cigarette lighter on the bench in front of me didn't know that Bob -
    they wouldn't have been able to make it <g> 

    It has 4 tapped holes from c.a. 5/64" to 3/8" and screws to fit,
    none of which show any wear, and was made in the 1930's.
