I was cleaning out some of my gear and came across a brass spark-lite two hand model in the round orange container. According to the manufacturer its from the first batch, mainly given away to promote it, and made 1980. I was wondering if it has any collector value? By the way the tinder still worked great and so did the vial of lifeboat matches that were the same age.

the right one from this pic ?

i have no idea what it is worth, just wondered which one you mean.

Thanks for the picture, From left to right it looks like , first gen. thru third. The one on the far right I've never seen before, it looks to be the best of the bunch, one handed , replacable flint , and lanyard ring. Mine's the "L" shaped like a shortened lantern lighter.

Hmmm. the brass one looks alot like the strking mechanism off of a WW1 trench lighter. I'd to get my hands on one of those someday.
