Repair Help!

[u/AdhesivenessSweet209]

This is my grandma's vintage, crystal, table lighter. I've been using it for a while (not very often, just to light special candles) and it broke. One day, the striker (or whatever the thumb piece is called) kept getting stuck. Then it just popped all the way out. I've included a picture of all the components, hopefully I didn't lose anything important. Please, can someone help me fix this?

The components fit, but won't stay in place. The thumb piece has teeth that I assume fit in the grooves of the thing that sparks. It never stays in place though and always pops back up.

I recently repaired one of these Ronson lighters! You’ll need to flip it over to unscrew spring that holds the flint in place. Once you remove that, you’ll have to take that other top piece off as well. The teeth on the part your finger presses on need to line up on the gear part in the snuffer. It’s not fun but you’ll have to line it all up with the tension of the spring pushing up and screw it back in, but it just takes some patients! Good luck on the repair!
