| Yes it certainly Zippo cult, just IMCO also quite old look lighter, but one time I was very interested in military subjects ... well everything concerning World War II, from armored vehicles and ending here, lighters, and they were used by the soldiers and officers as vermahta.Nu I then could not get past it ...)))) And now here Zippo.Ochen interested recently in 1969, dedicated to the landing Americans on the moon, but the prices are just unreal ... in German ebay put up as much for a 485 evro.Kstati who can tell how to use Paypal if you buy in the U.S. ... |

| My first was the 1999 South West with a cactus on a striped background. And I bought it at a flea market in ordinary stone's throw from the house. In the same year in which it was made. I do not know what caused the owner to sell the new one, in principle, a thing. But I had the next day bought a Zippo pipe in a brass case. I saw her once, surprised circular hole in the windshield, and then still do not know what this thing. But decided to buy only one day. They cost is not cheap, though somewhat less than in the stores. Well, I went all ... disease ... New buy more and more. Zippo by manufacturers claim that one in five becomes owner Zippo collector. Looking at myself, I believe in it. True, I am "not real" collector, because I use all his Zippo. The idea that a lighter, no matter how rare, just standing or, God forbid, was lying, I was not tempted. Things have to live like human beings. And do not lie and "stored". |

Let's just say a little while. :) I think I stopped to join as many, though in the beginning wanted to ensure that waste away over them as king Koschey over with gold. After ten, to calm, relaxed and especially after the first auction of the old. After the new old is somehow no longer attract much, except that they like on their own, or within selected topics. I say: I'm not a real collector. I - the user, in the truest sense of the word. I agree with you, and with the Golden-Joker. Collectible things best left alone. I've touched the silver watch Zippo made in Switzerland for the anniversary of 92-year, and immediately spoiled thing. He wanted to change the battery, and in fact was accurate, but there is mounting (it - contact) is very thin and delicate. Watchmaker helped the clock is OK, go like clockwork, sorry for the tautology. But it was incredibly sorry that intervened in the miracle of technology for its rough paws. And all because I wear the watch on the hand with a direct purpose - to know the time and day. And would lay in his native tselehonkie box, well, did not go to a shrunken battery, is it for collector's item is not necessarily the same as gasoline and charging for collectible lighters ... I saw something on the auction numbered Zippo the anniversary of Mozart, in an exclusive package "with all things," and, of course, a "zero." Yes, the money at the time was not there. But long wondered if there had been it for me, I lit it, or put it on a shelf untouched? And he came to the conclusion that all would be well lit. And listening to Mozart under it. But I'm not saying that this is the right approach. More likely, vice versa. But live once. Long search, spend your hard-earned money on a wonderful thing to just look at her, to feel like she was living ... not for me. A feeling once, then you want to experience a particular personality Zippo more and more ... I'm usually loaded with as many as five or six Zippo, and flicking them alternately, enjoying feeling the difference in the surface, in the clique, the ease of the cover. And in flames ... When does this "platoon", to charge the following "command". Lighters 30's and 40's with a closed windscreen - Lighters 60-70, which is wider and flatter windshield - and modern Zippo with a rectangular "chimney" - they all give different shapes flame. And hands differently perceive their body. For example, military with flat sides and convex bottom is very "kindly" in the hand, secluded, like the warmth of a small animal, a standard form is not so, and a replica of 1941 - the same lack of a convex bottom. Zippo with plates very solid open and close, as if to say its a weighty word, and it seems that they know more than the usual. The rectangular shape allows easy clean closure as a cheerful greeting from a friend. And so on. As well leave it all nerasprobovannym? |

That's right! I've always smoking my pipe, and a pleasure, the quality of the process of smoking pipe tobaccos (not to mention the variety of tobacco flavors) is not comparable to cigarette smoking. Occasionally think of cigarettes is to quit, go entirely to the tube, but ... as a look at his Zippo ... This is what they will get dusty idle? And I'll occasionally listen to their vsklikivanie, to look at the flame, listen to the song dancing caps? I can not! So, stimulate my Zippo cigarette smoking. And it was the cigarette, because pipes and cigars from the gasoline still get a light is not accepted. That, as I understand it, was the impetus for the creation of gas Zippo. |

| Bought his first in 1994, while still a student, was happy as a child. Never ceased to hold it in your hand. particularly like to keep when she was cushy. But the thing, I bought her pocket and gave sabantui in a hostel on the matter. The main character, of course was Zippo.NU and broke it! Broken off cap, celebration ended mgnovenno.Remontiroval it myself, where repair service I did not know until now! Here is a look that poluchilos.V general as about a bear in a fairy tale, it still will not give up, because it's good! |

| After the story concluded-Zippo into the wrong hands do not give! Repair was a long trial and error. Braze welding in the home is not available, we had to drill holes in the body, the bracket on the cover of my own. but the bottom bracket had to do everything myself, tkv time of the tragedy broke the lock on the bottom skobke.Skrepit not, because If both the upper rivet, the insert does not fit, and if fit, then it is not pull! Other damage was not, I think, and then break down and nothing more! I wonder who has what was broken and how to remove them? Or is there a Russian service center? |
