Ha! Gotcha!

It's a tabletop cigarette lighter I picked up at a yard sale. Like you, apparently, I thought it looked cool.

Lord, Nick, I have three roadsters already, one never fired.

Oh. The roller in the picture is not the jigsaw puzzle.

Oops! Thought your post contained a roadster. My mistake. Still have too many engines!

Now wait! You do show a roadster. I think I'm confused.

Bob:

What is the Fire Engine in the photo?

Looks great.

I would appreciate seeing more pictures.

Yep, repaint, too. Tremclad Hunter Green should do it.

As far as I can tell it's all there, including a new burner and a little vial full of fasteners.

Assembly required. Instructions are out there on the Internet.
