I was at an antique store when this lighter caught my eye. I loved the classic styling with the chimney and flint ignitor and the fact that it runs on butane. Even if it leaked I figured it was still worth $8 because I liked it. After filling it up I was not surprised that it was leaking from both the filling valve and nozzle. After installing a new o-ring for the valve (the old one was rock hard) and a new rubber stopper for the nozzle (the lid has a spring loaded rubber piece that covers the nozzle when it flips down) it held butane and works perfectly. I think I have a new favorite lighter. I know it's not fancy or valuable, but I like it.
