    Another "What-Is-It" Post

    I hope this is a fun one of these What-Is-Its

    Any idea what gauge it would be? Just under 4 inches long. That is a 12 ga for reference.

    Holding back on critical photos before the reveal.

    It's a clinker cleaner I think, comes in 4, 6, and 8 gauge. I'm guessing that's an 8.

    Clue Key Words: Cigar, Sparking

    Its a desk top lighter.

    It belonged to my Dad, probably from the early 1950's.
