A Gas Lamp/Stove Lighter StickThis is a rather larger stick than usual. The cross section is octagonal from the handle to ferrule. Overall length is 39”and 1 ¼” ‘diameter’ tapering to 1”at the ferrule.When the handle is unscrewed from the stick an intricate mechanism is revealed and the ‘trigger’ is released. (folds back for re-insertion into the stick) This can then cocked by pushing it forward, (It clicks into place.) When the trigger is pulled, this in turn pulls the ratchet arm which then turns the serrated wheel. A small separate spring operated device holds a flint against the wheel Hence the wheel turning generates a healthy spark which ignites the gas. The flint operation is exactly as that as a standard lighter. Whoever designed and made this stick was a skilled artisan. All parts, carefully made and fitted, operate smoothly. Marked ‘Made in Germany, HahWay Patent’ and carries the flint spark logo. Age-early 1900s . HahWay products were manufactured by a company founded by Georg Friedrich Hoffmann and Nkolaus Wild around the turn of the 20th century in Munich. The compamy was known as Progressive Machines in Industry GmbH.From 1910 they made their reputation producing “first strike lighters” including the semi-automatic lighter "Imperator" with a very impressive Gear - Drive technology. Due to the great reliability of their lighters the company held the leading sales positions for many years.However it appears they ceased production aroumd 1920.Their logo/trade mark was an image of shooting sparks emerging from a flint wheel in the center of which were the letters HW.Shown below is an extract from a sales catalogue (page 10) published in the early 1920s. At some time an enterprising individual converted one of these HuhWay gas lighters to the gadget stick shown in Appendix G34. See website https://www.toledo-bend.com/VCL/catalogs/
