Es la piedra fundamental tener uno, en mi caso tengo uno también, es un Armor plateado cepillado, ahora quiero un dorado tallado con algún dibujo, carcasa Armor también, y también me gustan los Zorro chinos. Uno en rose.gold también podria ser, algún tallado con calaveras o la bandera de EEUU

What impresses me about Zippo is how simple and how durable it is. For this reason, it is enough to own one and enjoy its use over the years. Scratches and wear accumulate, while I change the flint and wicks, fill it with gasoline, and I'm happy. A Zippo for life that I love.

A birthday zippo, what a cool idea! With the month code confirming your lighter was produced the same month and year as it's user; I seriously love that! I'm definitely adding it to my zippo radar. It will have to match my personality a bit as well!
@aaronhazelwood6489
Жыл бұрын
Nope. Still familiarizing myself with Zippo date codes. Only '86 and newer Zippos have the month code. I was born too soon to get in on that action! With prior Zippos only marked by year codes, I suppose that will make the hunt a bit too easy. I'll need to just find the One from 83 that matches my personality to a tee!

Absolutely! Yeah anything pre 1986 you just gotta settle for the year, but I know some collectors who are a bit other, their main theme is their birth year. The only zippos they collect are that year. Pretty cool!

Good breakdown of most of the major types. Might I suggest maybe getting at least one vintage advertisement lighter from the 50's or 60's. They can be had for relatively cheap for well worn but still perfect good ones (Down to about $20 for good worn copies) and are often a little bit of a "Time capsule" if you can get one with some old school logo or design from years past. Vintage advert lighters represent about 80% of my collection and it can be an interesting challenge to research and dig up facts about a company or design from years past, even if they've been defunct for decades.

My gramps was a pipe smoker. He always smoked cherry flavor tobacco. After he passed i carried his zippo around with me everyday for years. I don't know if I still have that lighter but I still have his pipes. I have found a few zippo lighters at the swap meet near me. Bought a table lighter for 5 dollars and another one for 2 dollars. I don't think the seller knew what he had. Happy hunting

I used to have one of the 1932 replicas as well. I had to look it up and the story I found (may have just been a made up myth) was that they put out the ‘32 replicas and an employee pointed out that while founded in ‘32, the first model was not sold until ‘33. That’s why there aren’t many ‘32 replicas out there. They killed the run.

@josh8494 I've not heard that one. Makes sense though. I've read that very few were made late 1932 and actual production didn't start until 1933. The 1933 replicas are expensive compared the the 1932 replicas though. Part of why I do not have one yet.

Those are the only 2 time period steel Zippos. (42-45) (51-53) The 51-53 Steel Zippo would be the best/ easiest to find. (Hard to find in good condition) that time period was sold to the public, where the WW2 time periods were not. If you want a Steel EDC my recommendation would be the VJ/VE Day commemorative Zippo.

Thanks for the comment! Zippo does not release production numbers for Zippos produced (unless numbered of course.) However, if a company orders Zippos with their brand on it, you could contact the company to see how many they ordered. The replica, that sounds like a fair price. Hope this helps!

@@rmabgoi I would have to see the design but surprisingly Niagra falls zippos don’t increase the value astronomically like that. You can find vintage Niagra falls under $100 depending on the design. There’s a good bit going between $30-$50. So without seeing the Zippo $300-$400 seems to be a huge reach.
