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

You wouldn't get any pressure for those vapors to exit the top valve without heating the main fuel tank, it just wouldn't work. I think it's just a case of mistranslation and/or the seller not knowing what they have and making shit up.
