Picked up a Bowers trench lighter and German army sewing kit. The sewing kit is TINY. Never know when you need to start a fire or replace that button.

Beautiful stuff lantzn!
Your collection of stuff - especially the "smaller detail" tools of the day - always leaves me impressed and (more than) a little jealous.
Highest regards!

I actually have 2 of the Bowers lighters. The one pictured is the earlier round tube version and the later version is a flat tube shape. The 1st and second in this picture from the history page.
