These spent long enough in storage. From back in the day when sniping eBay auctions were fun.

Got this zippo and wanted to know more about it but the bottom worn and curved out does anyone have any information about it.

Edit: thank yall for all the help. Been collecting lighters just started with zippo and this seems to be a great start to the collection.

I'm a little stumped on trying to date this Zippo I have going off of some guides online. I can try to take better photos if need be.

Oddities:

• It's magnetic. Both top and bottom case are fully magnetic.
• Hinge looks like it's maybe been repaired?
• The part inside the top lid that's part of the hinge is brass (pic #8 shows it well)
• Bottom stamp is heavily damaged from who knows what.

I purchased this at an antique store last year for something like $10. Just been fiddling with it on my desk since. But I was finally interested to see what year it was made and started seeing signs that it's at least from 1954, which is pretty awesome. But then I saw something about it being magnetic it could be from WWII. And sure enough, a magnet sticks to it pretty strongly, all over the top and bottom case.

There's some light rust on the inside that worries me a little bit.

So, how old is this thang?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

The wheel is getting stuck and this tiny part is moving and spinning. Its new

Hey, I'm a new pipe smoker but have used a Butane blowtorch lighter before this and could easily get my pibe going for about 5 minutes. Now with my brand new Zippo Pipe Bhutane lighter all I get is a bit of ember and can barely keep it going for 1 minute. Am I doing something wrong here?

I recently made a trip to PA and found this lighter at an antique store for like 25 bucks. I’m brand new to collecting Zippos and wanted to know if there is anything special about this one. It’s very slim and a bit smaller to all my typical daily use ones. Thanks for any help you can offer!!

I've had the Pipe butane insert for over a year and I've run into an issue. I use Zippo brand butane because it's the only nozzle that works with the inserts (the others available to me have metal nozzles or are the wrong size).

After a few fills, the butane cans (both small and large) seem to lack the pressure to fully fill the insert. A can used for about 5 fills will no longer fully gas up the insert and instead of a week, I get about a day or two of use. The can is still very full. If I buy and use a fresh can, the problem goes away. I bleed the insert before every fill.

Anyone else experience this?

I have like 4 butane cans that feel like they're over half full and I can't use them 🤷‍♂️

Afternoon all, I'm trying to find some information about the Titled Zippo. I picked it up thrifting years ago for a few bucks as I kind of liked the movie and thought the design was cool.

It has the movie info on the back, the flat decal on the front. Not the raised prop one my google searches keep giving me.

From what little I can find, they only had 25 made, but the the extent of the info. I'm considering selling it but I'd like to know more before I make a decision.

If anyone has any details of the Sweepstakes, where it ran or just an educated estimate of what its worth I'd appreciate it!

I have 6 zippos, 5 of which have a lip on the bottom of case around the zippo stamp/date. 1 with no lip . Does anyone have more info on this ?

Just wondering why there is such a disparity between what is available here in Canada vs the selection available in the U.S.A? The American designs see to be much nicer and much more variety.

Repost as I accidentally set price to wrong amount (lower and actually fair and in line with many others that have sold at a median price)

Greetings, I seen according to the rules that I am allowed to list one listing

Thank you.

It is listed on eBay

I believe the price is reasonable considering all of the other listings regarding this lighter.
I am open to offers
