Just got my third one in today I got on a deal. You can clearly see the age of each lol. The first one has been dropped many times on asphalt over about 3 years.

I can't recommend these enough, however, I'd change one thing: the little tiny ring that everything is connected to is very weak and will break.

The keychain flint holder is great on its own if you have a butane insert. It's nice to have these stashed around as they're about one fill-up.

Okay and one non-Zippo (Don’t tell the mods)

This is one of my favorite themes and it has been a sloooow build but I’m very happy with what I’ve got so far. There are still some amazing Jukebox ones out there I’m yet to find but I’m always on the lookout.

Hey all what is this model called? Thank you 👍

Really nice €2 flea market score :)

Whenever i light it my flame starts Big and then quickly becomes very small

The last count was 600 million. How in the world would you count from 1 to 600 million? Zippo's been counting for over 90 years now, monitoring the count for over 90 years. Counting that much for over 90 years is an impressive feat.

Hi!
Long time lurker and this is my first post here.
I have been collecting Vietnam-zippos for a while and wanted to post this is one from my collection. It’s a curious one with the name and service number engraved. I’ve searched high and low but have not been able to find info on the original owner.

The Zippo was made in 1958. The 4080th operated U-2 high-altitude aircraft and flew highly classified missions over North Vietnam and China early in the Vietnam War. OL-11 (Operating Location) was at RAAF Laverton, Australia, and OL-20 at Bien Hoa Air Base, Vietnam.

It was found with a matching combined cigarette/zippo case with the text Vietnam-Saigon.

1996 Black Matte Marlboro Man.
From my collection.

I’ve been hearing this for so long that zippo‘s aren’t packed correctly from the factory, but how true is this and how necessary is it to open it and repack it?

It might be controversial. But doesn't the Zorro's click dound better than Zippo's?

Bet u wish you could find em and win a prize, but these are the last to be seen Worldwide

Rose gold Armour. Just finished my first cigarette. Better than I expected.

I presume it is real, since all "tale tale" signs seem to point to it being authentic.

Perfect for fall

First time opening it and the gem eye burst off so I thought I should check the rest of the lighter and there was a scratch at the bottom too, returning to Amazon for a refund but are the Zippos with these gem like decorations prone to just instantly coming off?

I’m a collector of lighters.
Over the years I’ve owned different brands, expensive, cheap, knockoffs and so one, but I’ve always had a soft spot for zippos.
I don’t bulk buy, I like to find them on sales or flea markets.

This time I wanted to give it a go to the 1935 and 1941 replicas that you can buy in Amazon. I bought both because I couldn’t pick one. So decided to get them and return the one I liked less. The 1941 one is the black ice version, the 1935 just the standard one.

Turns out I’ll be returning both.

It has nothing to do with the function of the lighter itself but I feel like the finish on the metal case it’s extremely poor. I don’t know if it has something to do with the materials used or the metal brushing tools, but they both have a really mass produced nasty feeling to the touch that none of my other zippos have. Both are 2025 makes.

Perhaps I’m getting too picky with time, but what do you think? Am I the only one feeling this way?

I found a pristine, unfired January 1990 Zippo at my grandpa's place, still in its original box with a 36 year old insert advertising a collector's guide.

I emailed Zippo mostly as a joke, sharing some pictures and asking if they happened to still have the guide. They said it was discontinued but offered to send me some stickers instead. I accepted, gave them my address in Serbia, and they confirmed that the stickers were being processed for mailing.

I'm not complaining whatsoever, was just curious whether it's normal for Zippo to send little gifts internationally through customer service, or whether this is an uncommon thing.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
