Lady Liberty Lighter

Origin
The Statue of Liberty was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and gifted to America by the French people as an act of unity for the two countries following the Civil War. Since then, many Americans have forgotten or disregarded France's part in the monument, and it is considered to be an icon of American independance, justice and freedom.

It is unknown when the lighter became an artifact, how it is connected or why it works the way it does. Given the effects, some have come to call it 'Bartholdi's Joke', believing it to be an intentional function by the designer. It can be seen in an advert for Warehouse 13

Effects
When the lighter is clicked, it produces no flame despite seemingly having a full fuel tank. Instead, the torch held by th Statue of Liberty ignites in a massive fireball, regardless of distance. The fire has an obvious attention-getting effect, but also instils all who look at it with an appraciation and respect for French culture and history.
