I know I have not forgotton, I just had other videos to make 1st, I go in order from what people request and when...I have a few more to upload, but yours is next to film...
@kavieres you will find I no longer have most of the stuff in this video, it was traded for a william henry knife then the knifew was traded for a 357 magnum....then traded again for a glock 36 45acp...
I bought that one at full list price of like $25 directly from Zippo...I went to the zippo/case visitors center in Bradford once for vacation and they have w big store there, where I got this one as well as otjers, I dotn see that one though anymore, must have been a small run of them, but I love the heavy texture it has, I no longer have it though, I had traded most of ym collection for a knife..
I see them pop up from tiem to time, but not too often...Average price for one will be @ $10 plus shipping...But beign that they are collectible now they might fetch a bit more...
yes I have a few in my zippo lookalike colection, lol they even have simuilar packaging, they obviosuly mimick the zippo brand but they are probably the best lighter next to a zippo for this design...
Hi Jeff, I bought my first zippo the other day at a mini mart and absolutely love it, love the look and the authenticity of it. I want to buy more and see that I can buy them on sites such as amazon for cheap. I watched your videos on counterfeits but it is hard to tell with a limited amount of pictures. Are there any tips on who I should buy from or what exactly I should look for? I cant see the bottoms so anything on hinges?
Thanks man! I have a bunch of gear to rteview in upcomming days, but I do have an insert for a Zippo that you might like alot! Keep an eye out for that!
I guess your talking about a butane lighter where you use butane fuel...to fill any butane lighter turn the lighter upside down, and you want to push down and hgold the bottle in towards the lighter until you do not hear it fillign anymore...instead of pumping it you just keep preassure down until its filled...you will know when its filled up by it being heavier if you can figure it out by hearing it...
Yeah, lighter fluid will evaporate in a zippo because its not air tight, so if you sue it it will run out, even if you don't...If you dotn use it too often you cna use a piece of rubber tubing like from a inner bike tube to seal off where the lid meets the bottom so the fuel won't evaporate on you, but its a pan to get on and off...thats only a good trick if your storing a filled zippo for a while...
No problem at all...Any lighter fluid will work in a genuine Zippo, guys in the army use to dunk their Zippos in the gas tanks on their vehicles, lol, a Zippo will work on many different fuels, but some will work better and be safer than others, but all ligher fluid will wrk fine...And yes I know a bit about butane lighters as well, what do you want to know? Send me a message I wil try to help answer your question...
Yes your right the pot leaf ones are not genuyine but way back in the 70's Zipo had one model with a pot leaf on it VERY rare, they mad eit thinkign it was justa design but after realizing what it was stopped makign them...VERY hard to find and woudl fetch alot of money, haha...
I traded off most of my collection...I use to own a titanium zippo that goes for $75-$100 these days...I had a few collectible ones in the past as well, vintage models..but not anymore...
@grantodamax haha just a vintage insert aking up the spot until a zipo can take its palce is all...but most fo this collectiion has been traded for a knife then traded again for a gun...
@zachchristiansen this entire collection is onyl worth about $600, and was accumilated over 7-7 years, most of it was traded after this video for a $700 knife then traded for a gun
when I was a small kid, i stumbled across an old zippo, under the bed of a cheap seaside hotel. I really loved it, it was worn down with some brass showing, the top had a dent in it, and it had an american eagle and flag engraved. Even after a decade or so i still vividly remember it, it had character. Seeing your videos makes me want another one, since now I realized I miss my old lighter, and also made me realized that I had a pretty old one too, since it had dots on the bottom. Miss u zippo!
Yes, many collector try to stick with a theme (even though I do not, lol) for example, some people just try to only colect beer advertisement Zippos, or others only collect vintage Zippos, some like to only collect Chrme finished Zippos, and so forth...Some only collect Zippos from their birth year, lol...Just have fun with it!!!!
well the 099 stanbds for 2009, so if you have a number ot the right there ya go, if its not a number but instead markings google zippo date chart for more info...
Well they are amde here in the US so they will b cheapest here, when you export anythgin you end up payign more for it to cover shippign costs, but there is also inmflation, I have heard in some countries a plain $10 stain model we cna get here costs the equivilant of $40 US there, which just stinks...your best bet for buyign zippos is ebay, just make sure the seller will ship to you before you bid...
SUre, the zippo will come with a new wick, lol, and what you cna do is when it burns out (takes a while) you just pull it up a bit and snip off the burnt part, the wick is like 4" long inside the body...As for flints a pack of 5 will last at least a year of regular use, it costs like $180 for the real zippo brand flints...You will need about 2 or 3 small bottles of fluid to last about a year...But any lighter fluid will work fine, you dotn need zippo, ronson works fine and is half the price...
I never said it was, lol, I just know for a fact that both came from the saem company because I boguht them both from the same palce and they are both marked the same on the bottom, thats all, I wasnt trying to ay the design means its the same...
Actually I no lomnger have the armnor one, its just a rtegular case but its literally twice as thick the metal....I already have a video on jumbo zippos where I show both the 41 and 37 replicas closer....And yes in this video I do mix up the replicas, the 37 is the more squeared off one, my favorite Zippo model!!!! I really want a 1933 replica with the outside hinge, but they sell for over $100 when they pop up on ebay, ahha...
I currently dont have as many lighters I traded off most6 of the collection, but reguardless they use to eb stores all empty, its not a fire hazard, never was...but havign a zippo stored filled is just fine anyway...Ever have a candle lit in your house? far more dangerous...
@Hadesminion13 this was when I live at home, worked hard for my momney and blew it all on stuff, then I moved out and had bills, lol...now I just have stuff sent for free still cant afford any of it
hey jeff, great videos. keep it up. i have a question about the armord case zippo. If the side walls, are twice as thick, does that mean the insert is half the size or is the zippo twice a thick. I guess what i am saying is, if i were to buy a armord case zippo, could i put a regular zippo insert. I know i would would never actualy do that, just wondering. please respond Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day
I dont ahve them anymore, I traded off most of ym collection sicne this video, but you cna probasbly still buy them online, google "roseart"...thats the company or store that sells them...
yes, he has a vid on it. but by moving the wick toward or away from the wheel, will adjust the size of the flame. recommend using a tool other than your finger though
No, sorry, no MSN, but I do have AIM I am on and off my computer all day long...my sn for AIM is pyrosharp (pyro for Zippos and sharp for knives, lol, I know its a bit lame, but cutlerylover was already taken by someone else? go figure, lol....)
most guys did own and use full size zippos, some modified them to shorties, who know swhy, to be different? Took up less room, lol? I don't know why, but they did...
@AfflictedPerfection thank you so much because I am only 11 and think that zippos are so cool and I want one so bad and the worst part is that I have never actually held a working zippo. One more question, where could I buy a zippo
No, but I like them, They just recently came out within a few motnhs ago, and I have not purchased a new zippo item in about a year, I use most of ym money on knives these dyas, and bills, I accumilated most of ym zippo stuff when I was a teen...But the butane ones look very nice, a bit pricey though at $50 on average...but I am sure worth it!
@cutlerylover when you say unused? Do you mean as in you've never lit it or opened the cap or do you mean you just flip open the top but have never lit the lighter itself. If the answer is any of those, how do you have the control. I would light any brand new Zippo I ever owned. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
my 3 favorites out of your collection is the confederate flag zippo the camo zippo and the harley davidson zippo!!! could you tell me where you got the camo and confederate zippos? or did you order them?
hey i have a question, in the 5th row 4th column, does that generic zippo say Thor and have Raijin (god of thunder) on it? lol i ask this because i have the same one. haha. got it off of Dealextreme from Hong Kong. excellent price i got it for.
Hye, actually I just trade all my stuff, the only thign that was up there was some fuel, 2 leather cases for belt carry, but I dont have them anymore to show, and those 2 oversized zippo style table lighters which I already have a video on...
im gonna buy a zippo soon i wanna learn tricks i got a crappy one from the pound shop lol and it is really really stiff do u reckon i could use a crappy fake zippo to do tricks or should i buy a real one
I am a huge fan of you and your collection. You really saw the awesomeness of having zippo. Watching you i am going to get a 18k solid gold zippo tomorrow from the savings i saved to buy myself a car. peace :-).
Where do you buy the majority of your zippos? I don't like ebay much either, and the zippo website is REALLY expensive. In one vid you talked about getting cheap ones for 10 bucks...WHERE?
it depends on how much a collector want sit, the common vietnam era zippo sells for $75 - $150 all beat up and crappy, lol the titaniu zippo sells for $100 in most aplces, the silver zippo cna be upwards of m$200 and there is a gopld zippo that @ $4000...dependin on where you buy it, there is no limit...
Japanese zippos are vetry colectable, zipo sells companies plain zippos over in Japan and they are lisenced to make their own designs many of them very cool but also very expensive...
hey i'm new to zippo and am going to buy one soon... can you tell me everything i need to go with it to keep it going for a year ? (flint, gas, wick etc.) and how much of it? will be very grateful
At 6:47, does the black and silver scrolled one have any name brands on it? I'm looking at one just like it on ebay, and I'd rather not buy one with "Marlboro" or something written anywhere on it.
shorties were just plain smaller so lighter weight and easier to carry, not that a full size zippo is big or anythgin, lol as for armor zippos, no...the arnmor oens are much thicker the case, but not bullet proof by any means...
I think in the US, you have to be 18 to buy all tobacco products, which lighters fall under, but I never had a problem buying lighters in stores and I was as yougn as 13...But if you walk into a smoke shop you HAVE to be of legal age to smoke to even go in, so whatever that is where you live...And smoke shops is usually where your goign to fidn a rack of Zippos, but for throw away lighters bought at a grocery store, I don't think it matters...
just a heads up; I would remove those price stickers and put them on the back of the box, unless you want permanent discoloration, from the glue. ( especially on brass and matte )
Yeah I know the one is a 1941 replica, but the other was from another date, which I could not remember during the video, lol, so I guestimated...Its cool how you have a vietnam Zippo, there is a GREAT book on vietnam zippos and their vakluses and what to check for to make sure yours is real...the title is "The vietnam zippo - 1933-1975 by: Jim Fiorella) A must have for any serios collector...
great hobby you got there, I just have one zippo that my dad found somewhere it's from 1992 and the hinge on the ''cap'' is kinda broken, I guess that i will have to put a little metal thing in there to fix it it says silver plated at the bottom and V III and the letter D
The 1941 replica with the devils head is actually a 1937 replica. The 1941 has a 4 barrel hinge and 14 holes in the chimney and a see through rivet holding the flint wheel in place. The 1937 replica was actually a poor attempt by zippo at replicating the 1937, as I owned an original and compared them. A tru 1937s top is actually slightly rounded where the replica is an un stamped bottom cut to fit as a lid. I've been collecting and appraising for over 25 years. Nice to find a fellow collector!!
I have just brought one of the manual revolving case off of eBay to and the lighters look better when there in there boxes without the lids on them but I only have 5 lighters all zippos including a 1972 and 1974 zippo slim lighters but I'm only thirteen so I got plenty of time to fill the case
I know, I just happen to love knives more, so thats where my mney goes most of the time, if I wanted I suppose I could sell a good knife and get myself a real vietnam zippo or perhaps a WWII black crackle zippo or an old advertisement zippo, but for now Its all abut knives, lol...I do however want a Japanese zippo, I already own 2 canadian Zippos...
i own 3 zippos and i just started to collect them yesterday,,, 1. u.s. marines chrome 2. not zippo brand,, custome made the case is made of silver with my initials on it 3.Barrett Smythe Design Lightning Bug Backyard Insects Sided Zippo Lighter 1995 am i doing ok? any suggestions
5:29 zippo on the right its solid brass zippo? i have it, but Yesterday I scratched it, you do not know how to remove scratches from solid brass Zippo?
I know I have not forgotton, I just had other videos to make 1st, I go in order from what people request and when...I have a few more to upload, but yours is next to film...
@kavieres you will find I no longer have most of the stuff in this video, it was traded for a william henry knife then the knifew was traded for a 357 magnum....then traded again for a glock 36 45acp...
thats great! Yeah the pipe insert does work well to get the flame to go through the shimeny for lighting a pipe...not just for show, it works...
I buy my zippos from eknifeworks normally, but Im not sure if they carry that spider model?
nice, I am about 5 hours out, I went there though for a weekend with the family to check out their case/zippo visitors center...very cool!
I bought that one at full list price of like $25 directly from Zippo...I went to the zippo/case visitors center in Bradford once for vacation and they have w big store there, where I got this one as well as otjers, I dotn see that one though anymore, must have been a small run of them, but I love the heavy texture it has, I no longer have it though, I had traded most of ym collection for a knife..
Love this can you make an updated one?
I see them pop up from tiem to time, but not too often...Average price for one will be @ $10 plus shipping...But beign that they are collectible now they might fetch a bit more...
yes I have a few in my zippo lookalike colection, lol they even have simuilar packaging, they obviosuly mimick the zippo brand but they are probably the best lighter next to a zippo for this design...

Are there any tips on who I should buy from or what exactly I should look for? I cant see the bottoms so anything on hinges?
Would love to see your zippo collection as of now,especially a bit clearer.or more general zippo videos. :)
Thanks man! I have a bunch of gear to rteview in upcomming days, but I do have an insert for a Zippo that you might like alot! Keep an eye out for that!
ilovehow much effort you put into your collections
make sure you have flint left, once it is gone the wheel tends to bit down into the spacer piece...
I guess your talking about a butane lighter where you use butane fuel...to fill any butane lighter turn the lighter upside down, and you want to push down and hgold the bottle in towards the lighter until you do not hear it fillign anymore...instead of pumping it you just keep preassure down until its filled...you will know when its filled up by it being heavier if you can figure it out by hearing it...
Smoke shops carry them as well as mnay jewlery places believe it or not...also by the jewlery at your local walmart!
@BrainSalad212 sorry most zippos seen here including the wine model were already traded and or sold
Yeah, lighter fluid will evaporate in a zippo because its not air tight, so if you sue it it will run out, even if you don't...If you dotn use it too often you cna use a piece of rubber tubing like from a inner bike tube to seal off where the lid meets the bottom so the fuel won't evaporate on you, but its a pan to get on and off...thats only a good trick if your storing a filled zippo for a while...

yes its very shiny and reflective shows fingerpirnts just as well as the regular chrome zippos...
yes, thats common, zippo used parts that are new from previous months if they had left overs...
@grantodamax haha just a vintage insert aking up the spot until a zipo can take its palce is all...but most fo this collectiion has been traded for a knife then traded again for a gun...

Do you still have it? Lol
the simple plain ones cost $45 and they go all the way up to about $70 for other models...Its a Zippo brand butane lighter...

freind of mine works at a bar/restruant, she gets all the empty packs for me, well use to, this was a few years back..
@Hadesminion13 this was when I live at home, worked hard for my momney and blew it all on stuff, then I moved out and had bills, lol...now I just have stuff sent for free still cant afford any of it
how do you make the shorty?I used to do some metal smithing and used to collect zippos so the whole Idea of a craft project with it seems cool!
hey jeff, great videos. keep it up. i have a question about the armord case zippo. If the side walls, are twice as thick, does that mean the insert is half the size or is the zippo twice a thick.

@AfflictedPerfection thank you so much because I am only 11 and think that zippos are so cool and I want one so bad and the worst part is that I have never actually held a working zippo. One more question, where could I buy a zippo
Hey, Very cool! haha, I never saw one of thse before, but I bet there are soem Zippo collectors that would love to add that to their collection!

nice collection awesome. the black and white zippo are the best
Where did you buy that titanuim you were talking about? i bin looking all over the internet for that
I am a huge fan of you and your collection. You really saw the awesomeness of having zippo. Watching you i am going to get a 18k solid gold zippo tomorrow from the savings i saved to buy myself a car. peace :-).

Cool collection, do you have any Zippo 'Blu's?The ones with butane fuel?

Do you know where to get the flames on the zippos that appear at 4:55? Or do you sell them? Thank you.
Hey jeff. could you please tell me where you got the Red/gold spider zippo? thanks!

where did you get the eat, ride, sleep one thats in most of your zippo vids?
just a heads up; I would remove those price stickers and put them on the back of the box, unless you want permanent discoloration, from the glue. ( especially on brass and matte )
Yeah I know the one is a 1941 replica, but the other was from another date, which I could not remember during the video, lol, so I guestimated...Its cool how you have a vietnam Zippo, there is a GREAT book on vietnam zippos and their vakluses and what to check for to make sure yours is real...the title is "The vietnam zippo - 1933-1975 by: Jim Fiorella) A must have for any serios collector...
great hobby you got there, I just have one zippo that my dad found somewhere it's from 1992 and the hinge on the ''cap'' is kinda broken, I guess that i will have to put a little metal thing in there to fix it
it says silver plated at the bottom and V III and the letter D
Hi, my zippo always dries out after a few days is that normal or can I prevent it? Also what was the purpose of the shorty zippo's in Da Nang?
did you not confuse the two replica models? Should it not be the other way around?
The 1941 replica with the devils head is actually a 1937 replica. The 1941 has a 4 barrel hinge and 14 holes in the chimney and a see through rivet holding the flint wheel in place. The 1937 replica was actually a poor attempt by zippo at replicating the 1937, as I owned an original and compared them. A tru 1937s top is actually slightly rounded where the replica is an un stamped bottom cut to fit as a lid. I've been collecting and appraising for over 25 years. Nice to find a fellow collector!!
I have just brought one of the manual revolving case off of eBay to and the lighters look better when there in there boxes without the lids on them but I only have 5 lighters all zippos including a 1972 and 1974 zippo slim lighters but I'm only thirteen so I got plenty of time to fill the case
Im not sure yet...
ebay...like $40 - $60 like mine or $75 - $100 for an eletric one with lights...
Very nice!
Hmmmmm, not sure I never heard of them before?
I know, I just happen to love knives more, so thats where my mney goes most of the time, if I wanted I suppose I could sell a good knife and get myself a real vietnam zippo or perhaps a WWII black crackle zippo or an old advertisement zippo, but for now Its all abut knives, lol...I do however want a Japanese zippo, I already own 2 canadian Zippos...
