  • Need a light?

     

     

    Didn't realize that I had so many of these.

    Here's where they usually set around gathering dust.

     Wiped the dust off and lined up on the pool table to get a better look at em.

    Seems every 2 or 3 years or so I get a new one for some reason, birthday, Christmas or whatever and the one I'm using goes on the shelf.

    There's a 60th Anniversary Zippo (never used), a Y2K Zippo, Air Force, Steelers, a Marlboro Zippo, some Camel Zippos,  a couple of trench lighters, and asst. plastic ones.

    That old Zippo to the right of the cue ball, with the peace sign scratched into it,  I bought in Thailand in 1969. I've lost it three times and it always comes back.

    The lid is held on with a bent straightpin. lol

    At VanSlam '76 in Richmond, Va. I opened it, and the striker wheel and spring flew out of it, not to be found on the ground anywhere. But, what I did find a few minutes later, was a new Zippo dropped on the parking lot. Picked it up and swapped the guts and put the new one back on the ground.

    It still works to this day.

    I think it's haunted!

    Or possessed!

    Saw this at a flea market. Was hoping the lady didn't know what it was worth.

     She did.
