This is a little hard to find info on, but I believe this to be a WW1 Petrol Type Trench Lighter. I am not an appraiser, so rely on you, the buyer, to assess it in person. It's in really great shape, with great patina. The original little screw cap is in place, and removable. The flint does not spin, and I have made no attempt to disassemble, lubricate, or modify it.
