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.

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!!

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

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!

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.

This is an amazing zippo I bought on Etsy and I think you all will 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 ?

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 🤷‍♂️

I just finished cleaning up this 1968 engine turned polish chrome engraved “DICK.” it came out quite nice.

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

Thank you.

It is listed on eBay https://ebay.io/m/FzOneI

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

This is the last of the three 1968s I received in a lot purchase. I think it’s interesting that Sunoco paid to have these engraved outside of the factory as opposed to ordering them direct.

I tried using a simple soft pencil eraser to remove patina from my lighter. Surprisingly, it cleaned the surface without polishing compounds. Has anyone else tried this method?

I’ve had other scrimshaws that were even worse than this was so I peeled off the plastic part and polished them and you can’t even tell they were scrimshaws. Would this be worth more plain and polished, or as is?

I found this in a junk pile at a resale shop, and I'm trying to figure out how old this lighter is. Is it Korean war era? Or did the owner engrave this on a later model lighter?

I've googled the patent number and I've been getting mixed results.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Loved the design

This one seems pretty special. It is a 1968 Brushed Chrome (well worn) and says “10TH ENGR BN ADM PLATOON” “KITZINGEN GERMANY” in the front. The back says: “PAUL BOSSERT JUNE 67-JUNE 69.”

I got this one last week in a lot purchase so pad about $10 for it.

No seal, inserts haven’t been fired. I got both for 10$

Hi everyone, I stumbled upon this NOS 2000 JDM Zippo set with a matching silver ring (Serial No. 0046). Bottom stamp is E XVI. Has anyone seen other serial numbers from this specific cross motif run before? Any info on total production or catalog background would be appreciated!⁠

Japan has some sweet Zippos. Unfortunately, because they are classified as "Dangerous Goods" by international aviation authorities and postal services, they can only be shipped to the US if it is "rendered incapable of ignition," i.e. the flint simply removed. But every Japanese proxy buyer and freight forwarder seizes them regardless, despite it being legal if the flint is removed. I want to be able to buy Zippos on Yahoo Japan/Mercari. Has anyone been able to find a way to accomplish this?
