Zippo lighters, anyone?

[Sven]

Recently got another lighter over amazon, and I was wondering if anyone shared my love for these beautiful lighters.

My 2 favorites:

I have a picture for this one, but my webcam is acting up and is very blurry. I think I need to clean it.
But yeah, rifleman's creed parody and such. Really nice to fiddle with while thinking.



On the back there is the inscription

IF I DIE IN
VIETNAM
BURY ME ON MY
STOMACH
SO THE ARMY CAN
KISS MY ASS

My favorite out of my entire collection. I got it a while back, while I was in Hanoi. You can get a lot of nice things in Vietnam; I also picked up some fake ray bans.
If you can't tell because of my shitcam, the lighter is layed out like this:

VIETNAM

DA NANG
66-67

Following that is the inscription of the 25th aviation battalion.
'LELE MAKOU NO NA PUALI' = 'We fly the ... g/id20.htm

Zippo lighters are beautiful pieces of equipment.

I'm too poor for that shit niqqa.
and besides, the only reason I ever use lighters is to set myself on fire at school.

I actually love these, but I only have this marines one.

This is a lighter i own, but it's not an original Zippo. I got it for like three euros at a sort of periodic sunday fair where people sell their stuff.


It is missing a working wick. I'd go buy one, but the tobacco shops that sell those are all closed in this period of the year.

But my passion is in bic and clipper lighters. All my colored/modified lighters have been given to friends or lost. I'll post my parts box to prove you i'm a nut.

I have a few assorted zippo's, but my favorite and the one I carry on me is this 1935 replica.


Also necro post because for once there's actually a thread that interests me.

That's a really nice one. I especially like the styling of the hinge.

A friend of mine gave me this one not long ago. I fucking love it.
