The table lighter was available in polished chrome and also black lacquered. It ignites automatically when the button in the engine intake at the front is pushed – then the canopy opens and exposes the flame. Very efficient and solid mechanism – works at every single try. The base is padded with green felt. Below a drawing of the Sabre F-86.
The Dunhill Sabre Jet is also known under other names like: Dunhill Jet Plane Lighter or Dunhill Airplane (Aeroplane) Table Lighter or just Dunhill Jet Fighter.
Type: petrol (wick) lighter

Great information.
I am a collectables/antiques trader and have one of these but it needs a new wick.
Does anyone know where I can get one? Or someone who can supply/fit it?
Many thanks

I have just purchased wicks, flints and petrol from Jim Ingram Vending. 83 Tankerton Road, Whitstable Kent CT5 2AH, U.K. Tel 01227 263114, fax 01227 277706. One of the old fashioned tobaconists left I am afraid. He was most helpful My Sabre Jet lighter is now fully funtional again,
I have this table lighter but its in a matt chrome finish, is this more collectable than the polished chrome one?
