They, apparently, were all Japanese. A rare and amazing thing with a surprisingly strong price.

rather Sino - U.S.! :)

Or just a thread of obscure Japanese outsourcer, proplachenny Zippoidami :)

I was interested in much the question - who makes decorations Japanese Zippo? looked like - anywhere it does not mention at all and went from this idea - do Japanese Zippo? of course - it's not custom work, judging by the number of models. here goes straight krupnomasshatbnoe mass production! it is possible that what - some not very famous Japanese "office", at least, it never stated anywhere really ...

And if the flood, on ebay (Contempo), we were close to Vladimir and I won the bid, it happens, and that in my opinion it was fun, I met, but your guru zamolchaaal.Eh VOVA

Anttir, what are you doing? :))) You seem to Hartman before I gave two links that described in general all of the Contempo, that only you can tell :)

And these sites, I knew three years ago when chestno.Prosto infa living expert is much more interesting.

And I have thought that this product does not withstand competition from the same Japanese lighters - that the quality and constructive, not different is nothing but the absence of inscriptions Zippo :) In general, conceived a niche product, and probably not very good. went well.

Of course - could not stand. Nothing new has happened, any Colibri, Win, Penguin, Marksman, Zaima and so on, which are then made in Japan - were not worse, and the choice of models - Wing Contempo, a bull sheep.

There were many factors. First - the offensive on all fronts of the market - disposable lighters quite a while and began to spawn opopsovenie consumers went into full view. Two - by the time it was still exceedingly fashionable pezozazhigalku have - if someone else paid attention to the cigarette lighter. fashion lighter form factor Contempo began in the late 60's with DuPont, danhilov and Cartier. Three - the beginning hysteria about smoking and skukozhivanie market as such, associated with rising tobbacco. Four - the left is a niche. Traditional customers such Zippo kunshtyuk nikchemu absolutely. For those who want to "Suiting" offered plenty of lighter everything from premium, Ceres midway as Ronse and hummingbirds to the lower segment as many Japanese manufacturers. Out - sat between two stools. Because-well, not their segment in general and any side. Pozdnyak rush that was - all have long since been covered and then the music stopped - orchestra gone by then. Contempo - a strange artifact, what would be a limousine International Harvester - had gone mad and besides IH tractors, combines, trucks and pickups suddenly decided to sell Datsun Cedric under its own brand in the hope that a farmer who has bought himself as a Scout, buy and sedancheg love of the brand.

Yeah seriously, very interesting and will share raskazyvaet just uvazhuha.

Need advice (litter that is not on this Zippo), slightly popolzovalsya Contempo, but damn very mahonkoe.Prochistil flame nozzle, such as burnout, but the flame burns about 0.5 sm.Ponyatno that machine for 20 years, but even so ... What thoughts, colleagues? ?

The essence of this type of device lighters that before the exhaust valve there is a "carb" or gearbox kagbe - laying out what it felt like or what tit porous crap. Gearbox problem - it gas from the liquid goes to gas, plus - the compression of the gasket adjustable gas flow and the flame height. That it rests screw + / -.

In such lighters those years - gear made of what that synthetic crap that nintendo bukalno becomes sticky byaku.

I would do so - carefully, Buddhist patience and German thoroughness to make out the lighter, took a "gear" and the flap - washed to the ultrasonic cleaning and then manually with isopropyl alcohol (I recommend, by the way - cleans all the crap from any grimy details , optics can be cleaned by it, etc.) Instead stuhshego gear - put a little piece of felt with insoles that grandmother in the metro sell. About a match head - a piece. And - all business. At the same time would change the rubber ring on the controller - they are a couple of pieces and they sometimes sit down and out from under the screw begins to veer.

Ponadobitstso: fine tweezers, screwdrivers set time, thin awl or a long sewing needle, empty disposable lighter (in her gum desired), a bowl of water (to control the leakage of gas and then - to adjust the flame, not an apartment and slept along the way his face.) Well, an hour, pervosti. :)
