Rustic Vintage Firestarters

This Kerosene Lighter is Fashioned to Look Like an Antique

— November 23, 2015 — Art & Design
The accessories chosen by smokers and woodsmen are becoming more eclectic and ornate than ever before, which is denoted by this Kerosene Lighter that's designed to highlight a vintage, almost antique aesthetic.

Coming in three color options and made from cast metal, the Kerosene Lighter is manufactured to resemble lighters one would've found during the 19th or early 20th century. The charming design of the Kerosene Lighter is made more versatile than actual designs of the time by being able to be used with any kind of lighter fluid found in smoke shops.

Coming with a small leather strap for hanging it off of a pack or your belt, the Kerosene Lighter ritualizes the practice of lighting a cigarette, cigar or even a campfire.
Trend Themes
1. Vintage Aesthetic Lighters - Designing lighters to resemble vintage lighters is becoming a trend among smokers and woodsmen.
2. Eclectic Smoking Accessories - Smoking accessories are becoming more ornate and diverse, a trend that is reflected in the design of the Kerosene Lighter.
3. Versatile Lighter Fluids - The Kerosene Lighter's ability to use any type of lighter fluid found in smoke shops illustrates a trend towards greater flexibility in the use of lighters.
Industry Implications

2. Antique Reproductions - The popularity of vintage-style lighters like the Kerosene Lighter suggests there may be a market for other antique reproductions in a variety of industries.
3. Outdoor Gear - The Kerosene Lighter's versatility and inclusion of a strap for hanging it off of a pack or belt caters to woodsmen and campers and suggests an opportunity to create other versatile outdoor gear.
