[QUOTE="jtholden64, post: 392902, member: 3681"] I had an IM Corona lighter very similar to this, that I lost to TSA before they officially said they were taking lighters from luggage. It is in fact a Pipemaster from the late 1980s or so. It has a manual flame shut-off, which is what the little switch on the front is for. If you push it up, the lighter will spark when you press the main switch. Release the main switch, and the flame stays on (similar to an Old Boy), allowing you to hold the lighter with one hand to spark your bowl. When finished, push the front switch up and the flame goes out, ready for its next use. A genius design! I bought mine at Iwan Ries in Chicago back in the late 1980s, and had it until 2003 when it was confiscated by TSA. I replaced it with a modern Pipemaster, which is nice but not like the one I had had. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
