History
In 1923 the company president was Grant Sipp, according to an entry in the Annual Report of the Silk Association of American dated February 15, 1923. This helps explain a passing 1913 reference we found to a "Grant Sipp Machine Co." The only patent we have found that was assigned to this company was a 1913 patent for a textile machine. We have also seen mentions of a lawsuit between Grant Sipp and an inventor, Charles A. Widmer, who was hired by Sipp to develop a sensitive drill for Sipp Machine Co. The dispute was over who owned the rights to these patentable ideas created while Widmer was an employee of Sipp; the court, in a split decision, found that Sipp owned most of Widmer's patentable ideas, but certain ideas belonged to Widmer, in particular those related to planetary gearing that were "not a mere ancillary improvement on the regular machines of the company". The January 1915 issue of Machinery magazine had an article on Sipp Machine Co.'s new sensitive drill, whose primary selling features were easy speed changes and a belt that would last longer because it did not need to make any twists.

Guinco 1923 Large Table Desk Semi Automatic lighter In Solid Polished Brass
Located in Miami, FL
Desk table lighter designed by Samuel E. Ghinn.
This is a superb and very rare table desk semi automatic petrol lighter, created in Cincinnati Ohio by Samuel E. Ghinn, back in 1923. This lighter was manufactured at the S.E. Guinn Mfg. Co. with geometric patterns in solid polished brass. The ignition mechanism is semiautomatic, with a very unusual and complicate system. Guinn is best known for his distinctive automatic table and desktop Bell Lighters, Samuel Guinn was an important early American designer and manufacturer. Guinn's first lighter design was patented in 1917, an automatic ferrocerium sparking attachment for gas kitchen stoves. His first full automatic petrol lighter design was patented in 1923, more than three years before the more famous Ronson "one motion" design. Guinn patented several variations of his original lighter design during the mid 1920, reflecting both mechanical improvements and different design variations targeted for home and commercial use. Lighter production continued until the early 1930s when the company went bankrupt, Guinn passed away in 1935. This piece is very gorgeous with an outstanding look and great eye appeal. This will be a great conversation piece and magnificent important addition to any tobacco or lighter collector.
