At a large yard sale today I purchased 4 vintage cigarette lighters. At 10 cents each I didn't think I could go wrong since tobacco memorabilia seems to be harder to find now. I hope to resale these on ebay. 3 are pretty straight forward, a Winston No Bull lighter, 2 were put out to commemorate the 50th anniversary of WWII (one features a B-17, the other one Iwo Jima). It's the 4th one that has me stumped. It is a copper looking case, fairly thin, and instead of a roller type thing to light it, this one just pushes down. No markings or brandings except on the bottom in tiny script lettering it says "Riders". I have tried to research this on google, but so far have come up with nothing. Is there someone here who might have some knowledge as to this lighter? It strikes me as more "elegant" or ritzier than the others. Of course, I very well could be wrong. Just very curious!

Is it maybe a Zippo? They're usually pretty streamlined, and I believe just had a plunger-type lighter mechanism.
