Looked at one of the topics on the forum, with links to sites kolektsionerov, looked, appreciated .... but something is still a mystery, namely, these people collect and store an insane amount of lighters? ;) I understand that in collecting the question "Why?" Is not relevant, and all have the same meaning for everyone it is different in its own way ;) so personally I believe that all of this is that diversity should unite, just buy everything it disease ;)

In this regard, I want to know what the "Themes collection" (so to speak) you personally or have heard of something original.

Interesting question. Why did you decide that "accumulate"? You confused the number, or the apparent lack of theme, or something else?

The fact that conventional Western collectors lighter volume collection always seems very big for our view. 1000 and more lighter is normal. That's the way to look at a small part of the collection of one of my zankomogo collector from California (but then I must say that it is certainly not an ordinary collector, and is quite famous in our circle and the dealer):




It's not that he "collects", but he is engaged to a very serious level. After all of the lighter has its uniqueness and rarity, which cost a fortune. So for them it is customary for the collecting point.

As for those collections, Western collectors too often limited to one topic, and gather once a lot of different themes. One more thing - the same Zippo and other lighters, there is much more accessible, a lot of these sell and buy on sale and all the flea markets, completely devoid of what we in Russia.

Personally, I started once with Zippo advertising freight companies, heavy construction and road equipment, and just trucks: http://zippocollector.ru/archi ..... Sing-Zippo . Later estestvnnym the interests began to expand, now I study history and bringing together the many different brands of petrol lighters: http://zippocollector.ru/archi non-.....-Zippo .

I know that my English and American friends imebt rahznyh so much to collect. Many interests military lighters, both modern and vintage. Someone is going to pin-up girls. Someone car theme. Someone looking for a particular series of lighters, once issued. Someone wants to collect the Zippe per year, ie all varieties. Someone collects Japanese Zippo. In general, the sea :) And just locked into a very hard, other then somehow pulled themselves that did not even notice :)

The apparent lack of topics ... ;) there really more visible presence of invisible chaos ;) Well, this is when the number of dynamically seeks to 1,000 copies or more, for me, so it's not a collection, a museum exhibition ;)

Home Museum of the efforts of one man, not for the faint of heart ... :-)

My understanding of the collection is to ensure that it should be subject to what that system, which would be a clear understanding of what the subject has to enter into the collection, and what not, without any "why no / yes?" ;) And the fact that the number of topics expands it probably a natural process in sequence, the main thing that would not become an end in itself have everything, and there ;) We will understand it as if numismatist collecting rubles a year in an infinite number of ...

Well, they have something just, I'm very subordinate its collection system, it is simply because we think that they have chaos, but in fact not at all :) And what's more, I'm sure each of the lighter, they can tell a story. So it's not an infinite amount of Euro :)

Incidentally, I also try not to accumulate stuff and occasionally part with unnecessary and unfit for my collection. Because I am primarily interested in is the history of things. Even my truck I have not so happy, as before, because they became too mngo for me, so I switched to zazhigalochnoe variety :) :) :)

Well then let's say I can argue with you on the account number))) as a person associated with the sea, it is only interested in one subject Navy ships and Coast Guard and believe yin interesting literally all instances that I see on the Internet, even the same, but say different execution or like the same ship at different times produces various Zipp. So it all depends on the particular person, but the story just appears lighter))))) internet for good ................... or try to do to win an auction))) and catch the adrenaline, there is an excess of

Disney Zippo - this is one of the few who fall under the laws of nicotine-1980s: the company Disney, is strongly associated with cartoons, children's activities, etc., around 1980 ended abruptly advertised on things, one way or another related to tobacco ( Like many other American companies, by the way). Hence the rare instances of Disney, and the high demand for them. I believe that they are exorbitant money, it is not normal :) But demand is demand :)

I collect two types of lighters: Zippo - the catalogs of 2008 and 2009 (in the course of 2010 will start soon more) and any lighter with the symbols of symbols or souvenir of those states.
