Well, gentlemen, comrades, I understand that it is not according to the letter, because the Spirit, if Zippo is more than one - it is some no, and collection. :-) So make the ranks.

Finally, to my Streeet Chrome 207 E 06, having served faithfully for more than 3 years old girlfriend arrived - a brand new G 08 24 190 Diner (insert F 08). In reality, of course, a collector of lighters difficult to call me - I am a Zippo as purely utilitarian things necessary (since it is homo smoking), failure-free (confirmed by field experience in a variety of weather and climate conditions), reliable and neubivaemoy (in Hockey, of course, she did not play :-), but regular visits to nature and a few drops to unplanned work quality is not affected.) For what, in fact, appreciate. The first lighter was presented to me (selected without me.) Decided to get hold of a second is not because of a sudden attack of consumerism or collector's itch - just gained three years of experience to use and knowledge about the vast universe Zippo already enabled with feeling, really choose a sample "for themselves." There is, of course, in turn went on more aesthetic considerations. :-)

So the revelation of man, "discovered" for myself in 1941 replica - suddenly be useful for someone. First impression - good, devil! :-) At absolutely identical regular Zippe linear dimensions and seemingly only slightly different form, is perceived quite differently. Theme of "vintage" was opened, so to speak, of Bradford designers have succeeded in full. Explain in words what's the trick - impossible, must be seen. :-) Basically, the photos give some idea, but live to striking effect, especially when put next to compare the ordinary Zippo. The thing flat "sides" replicas. Although the overall body width has not changed, by flattening the ends are slightly wider than the front, and that the increase in absolute numbers, in fact, tiny, visually it is very noticeable and determines the look of lighters, along with large corner radii. Visual cue immediately appear wider and lower than the ordinary Zippo, with a larger proportion in the cover (in fact, of course, it is not). Hence the feeling that the more lighter and heavier, even when you take the two together and realize that the weight is almost identical. Yes, for the purists :-) special note - the cover is opened, I almost (like position) 180 degrees, most drop does not reach. However, due to tight cam and spring again firmly seated inserts, the last 45 degrees turn tight enough, because the cam cover when folded starts prizhimaetsya close to the loop and "retard" its course. What touching loops - impresses more reliable than the usual "pyatizvenka." By reducing the count of units each gets wider, which, potentially, is to reduce the effect of loosening the subsequent cover by less backlash and greater durability of the system. Moreover, as I understand it, the replica has not touched the incident in 2005, whether that was the narrowing of the loop at all, "pyatizvenkah" so that my two lighters difference in this parameter is almost good millimeter in favor of the 41st. But it is "going to see" service experience everything in its place.

Covering brashed chrom - what can we say? Simpatishno looks, in terms of the surface is heavily soiled worse "straight." But why, why (?) On all polished (thank you, Arthur!) Zippo (any brashed, chrome arch, herringbone sweep) sides make high polished? Only satin chrome and straight as far as I know, have a uniform "haze" on all sides (any color cover, by itself, is not considered). So, unconsciously all the time you struggle with remaining at the ends of the fingerprints and other "domestic waste". The only advantage of this, and it is in respect of ploskobokih replicas - side face can be used quite successfully as a makeshift mirror (not yet zatsarapaetsya). :-)

In his hands is also a completely different (for a man who is used to form the standard Zippo). Even in the tactile sensations there is this very "vintage", which can not be formulated and explained. "But it is" (c) :-) Maybe today rounded and streamlined devices and gadgets "ergonomic shape" over chopped and "pogrubevshie", released by the edges, contours cues cause a vague recollection of something "out of those times. " From a practical point of view (subjective, of course): hold (when drawn, lights a) convenient - clearly recorded in the fingers by plane faces, simply twist-turn - on the contrary, the corners of the way. If an ordinary Zippo - is a "remnant", the replica 1941 rather a "brick". Good or bad - personally I have not decided, yet a few days to a mutual "grinding." :-) But for those going for the first time to buy a 1941-th after using Zipp normal shape, I would suggest if possible ask for any replica in the store, or with friends, and to start "poshshupat" a couple of minutes - the difference in really noticeable, and some people may not come "at hand."

In terms of inserts - here, of course, the differences are minimal from the regular season, on the lack of the two holes in the windshield and through the rivet kelesika eyes only if he stops this recall. :-) Design "pipe" closed loop, as the historical prototype certainly would add charm, but do not forget about standardization and, again, rationalization, modernization has been done - done on purpose. :-) Someone mentioned a few worst "wind resistance" 14-hole lighters - in this respect I can not yet say for the moment is not any significant difference noted. Like just ignited and burns like normal. Insert sits tight enough (I suspect because of the same "Rectification" shape, inserts a priori ploskobokih replicas should have a tight fit), the tendency to fly out and does not show the slightest (my first lighter already rather loose, can not find the what- we do against it.)

That's, like, all I wanted to say. Summing up all the scribbling - happy with acquisition Aki elephant! :-) Received, in general, everything expected and more. :-) Here, I go, slowly getting used to, simultaneously fighting the eternal paranoia to new things (always wipe, blow away the dust, afraid to drop or scratch). Still inclined to think that while leave Diner "for the city," and in "field conditions" will take veteran Street Chrome. :-)

Pictures do not spread - Lighter quite a regular, if desired, each finds the more flat Wait is in the "postpereezd / repair" and search the piles of things digicam - and well it to his mother ... :-)

There is a question, mainly to a colleague Cyrus recently bummed a Zippo - in which box it came? It seems like a replica of 1941 should be especially gray boxes, too replica "those days." I received the usual black (not that that depicts stylized "dyrdochki", but labeled Zippo and raised impression diamonds). The bottom part, that's exactly my (at least, Bar code label back), but I suspect that it is something for all types of Zipp is the same, but I can cover in a shop to replace Sinister ... :-) Or am I wrong?

For sim otklanivayus, sincerely yours, Merqury ...

PS Something recently wanted even some with Zippo Engraving ornament ... If the father digs his old Venetian - expropriates (he does not use it, did not work out between him and Benzinka relationship). And then would have some with enamel ... Hell, it's contagious ... :-)

Everything, right from the box, you will not be lying)) I have everything exactly the same as you describe, that pictures of my lighter (I apologize in advance for the quality - MOBILE :)

That's actually my copy)) But it is in his "coffin" on the shelf, I do not use it for its intended purpose. )) I agree with you about the replica of 1941. She seemed nicer in your hand is sitting on another. But I'm still on povsednevku favor classic Zippo.

I do not know about how you do, but I cover itself does not cast a 180 and freezes, the middle photo is visible. Apparently it is not designed)) She's should fully recline as far as I know, and click on the body one more time? My Lighter also produced in 2008, June-July (insert-body).

faust, this engraving.

Anton, your Zippo catalog of Choice Catalog 2007-2008, which was considered to mark the 75th anniversary - anniversary of the company, so basically almost all models of Zippo catalog of this issue during the year were sold in the box that you have with Cyrus - there is a singular surface even in the form of rhombs, as you noticed. And you're right, usually 41 replicas sold in the gray boxes.

About Zippo collectors. Even a man like you, with his sober approach to all things, when you can fully explain the reason for each of your choice of a thing, with its characteristic practicality, especially, may not be able to avoid zippomanii! I feel as you slowly get infected :))) Well, where did you get away! :)

I am the owner of three replicas 1941 goda.Chto can say is ... I once did they not inspired, navernoe.Da-good, but interesting, yes-form markedly different and much more all the "yes." As a collector's item- just great (and my se is). Very nice to get, look, wipe with a cloth, etc. But for every day use, ZIPPO modern form, perhaps, for me as a blizhe.I in hand seemingly pleasant lies, and the feeling that it is more convenient polzovatsya.Vse is, of course, my personal opinion.

can of habit =)

It's not that out of habit, but for me a replica 1941, rather collector's item. Probably it is best to say.

Yes, Jur ... for my 2-41's replicas (both in '08, D and F), such points are. But it is clear, "drill" it was ... "zapilennoe" what-if ...))) It's like a thin pencil drew a circle, around a millimeter in diameter ... I had to look at it in a good light ... with "nightlight" does not even notice ...

At its not found)) All perfectly smooth.

Add another 5 cents to the review - go with a replica of the past few days, it's almost used to it. :-)

In terms of its differences from the standard Zippo - original bid, even without considering the effect of a double click (I have it still does not appear - cover tightly walks in the open position, lacking a cam forces hit her about the case) 41st sounds like fail, more muffled. While, on the other hand, maybe I am guided by his old lighter - it's pretty resounding, for cover already blabbed ka follows sounded like when it was new, I do not remember ...

It is interesting in this regard would be to listen to the clicks Vintage 1938-1941 Zippo's in a good state of preservation, as people imagined the famous Zippo click in those years ... :-)

On windshield - a sense that it actually works slightly worse than the 16-hole, not to go out in the wind lighter willingly, simply go to the flame is stronger and more motylyaetsya of gusts as if traction is not as good. But this is a delicate matter, since a lot of other interfering factors related primarily to the wick, its length, laying on the inserts, etc., can form windbreaks and nothing to do at all ...

By the way, anyone know any reason for the transition in time Zippo for 14 holes? Initially because it was 16, and 16 have returned fairly quickly afterwards, probably something not happy in the new scheme ...

Sincerely yours, Merqury ...

In terms of its differences from the standard Zippo - a kind of click

Yes, indeed, I thought so too, has already paid the purchase many great other replicas as if in a different sound, although maybe I'm wrong.

Apparently, the shape of the lid gives the acoustics, the less sound comes out, more pereotrazhaetsya inside.

But I'm too =) before did not know that there is such a huge variety of classic Zipp! And so when I discovered that there is such a form as in 41, 37 replicas so all my surprise there was no limit!

41 replica is completely different compared to the classics - the form, windscreen, even a double-click (well, mostly) and it turns out the other key! That's really really unusual model! Как только появяться лишние средства обязательно приобрету себе такую!=)

Something I turned straight propaganda review ... :-)

Anton, if you noticed, there is only a subject and start campaigning emerge by themselves :)

as they say, and do not require a lot :)

Чтоьы фитиль не прогорал, щас пуляю в зажигалку по 5.5 мл каждые 4-5 дней, вроде нормально ))) ПРивык уже как-то, по самому пламени знаю когда нужно долить. Что касается укладки фитиля, то абсолютно с Вами согласен, каждую купленную зиппо лучше сразу-же перебрать, заменить стандартную набивку на нормальную хирургическую вату, правильно положить фитиль, плотно заполнить ватой.

PS Стеклянный шприц-дозатор купили? :)

Не очень понимаю,зачем в новых ZIPPO перебирать набивку,перекладывать фитиль,что станет лучше- то? Две купленные полгода назад зажигалки заправил как есть-пламя нормальное,топливо держат 10-12 дней,что ещё нужно?
