Hi Guys,
I was wandering if anyone here is collecting, or has some zippos, I've decided to start a collection, or at least a nice selection, I already had a Solid Brass one, and just bought a nice Jack Daniels one of eBay yesterday.
Anyone here into it?

EDIT:
These are my two:
Except my JD one looks much nicer than that for some reason../

I really want to get this one:
It has Austrian Crystals in it, and since I am austrian, (although speak only a bit of German, (brought up in UK)) I think it serves an extra value.

I've been really tempted to get the Nails lighter from Jay and Silent Bobs Secret Statsh.

Nice, I'd reccomend having a Zippo for anything really, 'cos they are so useful, a LifeTime Guarantee, and also they're wind proof, which is sooo cool.

I collect Zippos. I have about 90 different ones now. I also have some displays and paraphernalia. I also deal a little.
I have the "Bling" Zippo (the one with the $ sign). I posted pics a few days ago here.
I like the shape of the '41 model. I have a modern '41 is solid Sterling silver and I have an original 1943 Black Crackle. Here's a pic of my Black Crackle:

Sure is.
Have a look at www.zippo.com and www.zippo.co.uk
Posted by Chazzer3
I like the way you prove that they are yours with my Post in the background.
Anyway, so are u selling any or are yours all purposeful to you? I'm just wondering because I'm interested in rapidly increasing my collection.
Also, do you have any lighter fuel I could buy, cos the sellers on eBay all ship from America, first off, I don't think that's allowed, and secondly, it is bloomin' expensive!
Anyway, nice collections you've got.

I'll send you a list of what I have to sell when I make it (probably tomorrow). I have a few doubles and triples.

It's illegal to post fuel. It should be about £1.95 at your tobacconist.

Thanks.
I might post some more of my favourites.
Posted by Chazzer3
I need some as well, don't know the best way to buy it.
The best is Zippo Lighter Fluid, which is a complex mix of Butane and Propane AFAIK.
But there are cheaper lighter fluids available 'over the counter'

Go to a tobacconist/corner shop and ask for "lighter fuel". I recommend genuine Zippo fuel. Newport isn't bad.

I think you're thinking of Zippo gas (for gas lighters).
Zippo liquid fuel is made from naptha (a very refined petroleum) with an aliphatic (organic carbon molecules) added.
Zippos will run on any liquid fuel (meths, parafin, etc.) but it's best to use the proper stuff.

Right well, after starting that irrelevant thread:
Would anyone collect or use this? It's a brand new, unused one's (not even been fired up
) has just come into my possession and I don't smoke or do cannabis. Sort of a mini hint that it's for sale and I don't need it.

I think you'll find Absinthbri's your man! He's our resident Zippo expert.
If he's not interested, how much would you be looking for? I MIGHT be interested (as I don't seem to be able to give up fags!)

Buy one and get someone to engrave it
Posted by p900 lover
Where can i get things like this engraved?
Posted by kk.226
Your local Key cutter / shoe fixer shop kinda guy usually does it, or a jewler I guess! I might get the plain silver Bar on the front of the lighter on the previous page engraved, me and my mate both got the same ones today, so they pretty cool.
Posted by fatreg
jewellers!
