The "Płomień" lighter was made by the Zygmunt Konopczyński's manufacture in Warsaw, Poland. It was marketed in the inter-war era between 1924 and 1940. This lighter was a very popular lighter in the II World War and was perceived as the standard equipment of a Polish soldier.
Despite of the big size this lighter was not produced for the purpose of a table/desk lighter. Rather as a pocket or bag lighter. The lighter itself is a simple construction made of gray cast iron and covered with a thin layer of brass.
