My other grandpa had a perpetual carton of Salems on his dash at all times.

Zippos all over the place, big ass ashtray tower next to the recliner and one next to the "Davenport"....

My mother was the eldest child, my uncle was the youngest. Mom told a story about pulling out the lighter and it wasn’t glowing red. She didn’t know if it was hot so tested it on younger brother sitting on the seat beside her. Unc got a nice round branding scar in the middle of his thigh.

One Grandpa chewed WB cut....the other smoked Pall Malls.


I liked to smoke Lucky Strikes.


LSMFT.

I can neither confirm nor deny that they were used to burn and inhale "roaches" from............in the olden days.

There's one in this scene, for a bit. Might still be on a street in Chicago still:




The previous one provides context for this scene:

finger heater.....

My maternal grandfather was a smoker. He died thirty-eight years ago today drowning in flemm.

Oh, I was surprised to see one of them in a fairly late model CAT, iirc. They're handier than chit.

Damn boomer.

Was just about to say ... m-80 lighter. Just don’t do it in a closed garage 😬

It's all good. Mom, step dad and I all smoked for twenty years after that plus or minus. Slow to learn, but, finally got that m o n k E y.

We never smoked much pot.

That sure leaves ME out...

Watch Man on Fire. You'll learn...

Most of those are wired with about an 18 ga wire. You can buy a battery trickle charger that's supposed to plug into one to charge the battery. How many amps can you stuff through 18 ga before it all melts down? Not all of those are live when they key's off.

Cheap bastards.

Surprise sibling brander.

It goes in that hole in your car where the old fashioned (non ISB) phone charger goes.

Spotlight powerport plug. When you listen to the second hand smoke crusaders today it's surprising any of us survived our youth. I never gave a second thought when we six kids were in the car with mom or dad and there was a constant "fog" of cigarette smoke. Heck, my parents had large families. For holiday get togethers there were always a dozen or more adults/late teens smoking all at once, playing cards, watching football, reminiscing while all drinking beer or booze. How did our society survive all of that sin?

I bought the male counter part and stuffed it in the lighter hole in my new truck, the fuse blew right away.

I upped the fuse size and figured I had it licked until the light weight wiring they used started to smoke and melt.
I guess they matched the wire size to that fuse.....oh well.....

Whistling past the graveyard doesn't mean it's not a graveyard.
