IMCO

This company opened its doors in 1907 as a button factory in Austria. The name IMCO is an abbreviation for "International Metal Company," which is the company that originally manufactured the lighters.

In 1918, their first trench lighters were made from spent artillery shells used in World War I. Particularly noted their wind resistance feature, these lighters became a popular for the military, then for the smoker and the outdoors-man.

Unfortunately, as of the end of June 2012, IMCO closed its doors.

These are replicas made by other manufacturers. I do not believe these have been made in Austria.
