| ID | 1342 | Austrian Taifun lighter, similar to Hurricane/Cyclone series with advertisement "Rotunde Wien" (Rotunde Vienna). Height of this lighter is rather unusual.
The Rotunde in Vienna was a building erected for the Weltausstellung 1873 Wien (the Vienna World Fair of 1873). The building was a partially covered circular steel construction, 84 m (approx. 275 ft) in height and 108 m (approx. 354 ft) in diameter. It was designed by Austrian architect Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer and built by the German company Johann Caspar Harkort of Duisburg. While heavily criticized by professionals, the central building of the World Fair was accepted enthusiastically by the public. It was used for shows and fairs later on.
The Rotunde burned down in 1937. Its former location is now occupied by a portal of the Vienna International Fair. Source
