I received my first 1941 replica today and noticed a slight lid gap. It is a brand-new one straight from Zippo. Is this something worth bitching over, or not really? Personally, I don't mind it too much, as Zippos aren't airtight anyway, but what are your thoughts?
My uncle left me a collection of zippos and I want to know how much some of them are worth
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Let’s start from beginning
15 of June, at night, Russian rocket hit Mayak manufactory at Kiev, close to it was biggest flea at Ukraine which also suffered from rocket attack, 30% of flea was completely destroyed
Owner/seller of this lighter found it in ruins of his shop and gifted it
Lighter was restored and now it is fully functional(melted metal still left on shell)
So yeah, I’m not the second and even third owner of it, it have some text on it, that lighter made a big way
Planning to sell it like Ukrainian- Russian war artefact - souvenir, maybe some collectors will be interested
Picked up this super rare stussy zippo a month ago. I understand it’s from the 90’s and wear is very usual but I think a combination of heat, and the oils from my hand peeled away the enamel or sticker they used for the logo. It’s a heavy personal item but I wanted to get it fixed somehow. Was thinking of buying/ getting a stencil and filling it in myself or doing something crazy and get it engrave and fill in the engraving with enamel. What do you guys think ? Anyone else have one and can maybe over some advice?
Not sure when we acquired this one, but its pretty interesting in our opinion. Engraved with "Toronto", and the designs. Niagara Falls inscription below the Zippo logo. Internal portion has the numerals "IX" on one side. Curious if anyone can give me some info on this particular model or style? Any and all help appreciated.
I could not wait to get one, and now I finally have one! I messed up the wick and had to shorten it to many times, I’ll have to replace it in like a few months.
Just got back from seeing some family at the beach for a week. I stripped these two street brass Zippos and left them at the house stowed up under the deck.
I saw the tarnish on the brass doorknob on this closet outside and I got curious: how long would it take a Zippo to do that?

Has anyone here bought one of the lucky dip lighter’s from the zippo site? And if so was it worth it. I’m thinking of buying one of the platinum lucky dip’s.
Hello! Zippo fluid costs $15 for a 125ml bottle where I live due to import fees, so I need a cheaper alternative.
I have already tried Primus Powerfuel, it works great but evaporates fast and contains a rust inhibitor
Found this in an old box my Grandfather had, who’s grandfather fought in the civil war (side is obvious) just curious if this is worth anything or to toss it.
Was going through my grandfather's old bag of lighters my parents had stored away from when he passed. I found quite a few Zippos though 2 im curious about the 1st I cant find too much info on being the brass colored Marlboro bull Zippo. Its about half the size of a regular Zippo and stamped "LLL" on the case lid. The second is this chrome one that seems rather old but when googling it I get very conflicting info. If anyone has any info on the year of the chrome and possibly where the Marlboro one came from as well, id appreciate it!
I want to buy a zippo lighter. I'm in India. Can you suggest some reliable shops.
With people sharing their lighter maintenance kits I figured I'd finally share mine. This is just for quick maintenance to clear stuck flints and easy jobs like re-wick/repack. And for replacing flints for long term storage. This is not for deep cleaning, lighter body repair, or other serious work.
Bonus maintenance on a red felt 1967 lighter with a stuck flint and scraping off excessive soot on the flint wheel and chimney. Quick refuel and flint and it fired right up.
Mostly Zippos with Ronsons and random 250 branded things. Hope you have a great Holiday!
