May have severe scratches and some denting, enamel may be missing or faded, printing or engraved images may be worn and unreadable. Fair: Lighter is operational with no missing parts. Flaws must not detract from overall appearance of the lighter. Some evidence of use: scratches, minor dents, small chips in enameled surfaces, plating 90% intact with minimal base metal showing through. Void of chips, dents and scratches to the base metal. Very good: Perfect working condition, may have slight imperfections, such as minor abrasions on enameled or plated surface. May or not carry original box, packaging, instructions or tags. Excellent: Like new, no handling wear is apparent, evidence of use is minimal. Original packaging, instructions and tags included. Lighters that have come directly from the manufacturer without use are considered in this category. Mint: Void of any trace of use, wear or flaws. This category, the scarcest of all, belongs to those models which may have been made only in small quantities. Extremely rare: Extremely difficult to find. Usually found only in very complete collections. Rare: This category would be considered more scarce than uncommon but still findable given sufficient time and the willingness to search. Uncommon: Less abundant than common category but not rare by any means. These would be the easiest to find and most readily abundant. Cummings: Common: Lighters in this category were typically made in large quantities or in recent times or both. The best usability has got the taxonomy proposed by Urban K.
