They got together with the Quercia family - Flaminaire - to sell the recently introduced Flaminaire Crillion lighter in the US, as Flaminaire had no US sales force. Due to the fact that the Parker Flaminaire used a proprietary gas tank (as all of the early butane lighters did) they were expensive to refill, as a new tank had to be purchased and put into the lighter. Meanwhile, other lighters were coming out that were refillable and, therefore, much more economical to use. Parker was in the Flaminaire business only from about 1950 - 1956. Please review all photos, as they are part of the description. (Enlarge for detail) (Reflections in photos).
