Rowenta Butler Lighter

This is a VERY long lighter and very heavy for a lighter! Gas goes in one end and flame out the other with piezoelectric ignition. There is insufficient distance from the finger holding the trigger to the flame for it to be useful as a Bar-B-Que lighter; questionable functionality for any practical purpose.

Rowenta Electronic by Sunbeam Table Lighter

This is a beautiful looking and nice table size lighter, but quite heavy at 18 ounces. There is a lot of electronics in the works of the lighter (as shown in one of the pictures below) and a rather large butane tank. The lighter operates off a 22.5 volt battery for the spark that ignites the gas. While Rowenta branded gas refills were sold for it, a standard butane can will fit the fill valve. Picking the lighter up allows the gas to be activated and pushing the button activates the spark; the flame remains until the lighter is set back down on its base. Made in Germany. In Great Britain, at least, they were distributed by Alfred Dunhill of London.
