these have been around for a very long time for carrying a glowing coal around and were invented many years before they state on ebay, have a look at some reenactment sites you might find what your looking for.

Or, you can get some a length of lantern wick and a small dia copper pipe to make you own and use you your strike a light to spark it

He has one that he reckons is still made in spain. It's very similar to the IMCO trench lighter (flameless one)...

Yup - I've got one of the spanish ones. Works very well.

Bingo! The key word, for the Spanish rope tinder lighter: Chisquero. Google this and you get: http://translate.google.com/transla...v=/search?q=Chisquero&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=G Now, last step, enter "Chisquero" in the search box and ooh la la.

Can you get flints easily & locally for the Chisqueros?

Thank you all.

Best,
