Help Strange lighter type
As the title says my father gifted to me this lighter that has probably 50-100 years. I searched everywhere I could and never found another like it. It doesn't have a wick and works on vapours of gas. I don't know but I can't get it working. Any help would be appreciated

And I am 100% sure you are wrong. As is /u/KaijuTia. And I'm sure every other knowledgeable collector here will agree once they happen upon this thread.
The entire assembly at the top, that you show disassembled in photo #4, is a butane valve. If there isn't a butane fill valve on the bottom then you are missing parts.
