| it starts as usual or as a gift or bought without knowing why  . By the way, too, was once a YMCA that, but compared to the Zippo it is very far from it, but what you want from it if it is 120 rubles new :) metal poor and not prosluschat they more than a year if you regularly use return, all porazvalivaetsya  |

And now here Zippo.Ochen interested recently in 1969, dedicated to the day of landing Americans on the moon, but the prices are just unreal ... German ebay exhibited this already for 485 evro.Kstati who can suggest how to use Paypal if you buy in the American ... |

| My first was a 1999 South West with a cactus on a striped background. And I bought it at a flea market in the ordinary stone's throw away from home. In the same year in which it was made. I do not know what caused the owner to sell the new, in principle, a thing. But he did I the next day bought a Zippo pipe in the brass body. I saw her once, surprised a round hole in the windshield, and then not knowing what kind of contraption. But decided to buy only through the night. They cost is not cheap, though somewhat less than in the stores. Well, all gone ... disease ... New buy more and more. Zippo manufacturers themselves claim that one in five becomes the owner of Zippo collector. Looking at myself, I believe in it. However, I "fake" a collector, because I use all his Zippo. The idea that the lighter arbitrarily rare, just standing or, God forbid, lying, does not appeal to me. Things have to live as humans. And do not lie and "stored". |

Let's just say a little while. :) I seem to have ceased to strive for quantity, though in the beginning wanted to achieve, to wither over them as king Koschey over with gold. After ten pieces somehow calmed down, and especially relieved after the first auction of the old. After the old new is somehow much longer beckon, except that they like themselves or correspond to selected themes. 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 are better left alone. I've touched Zippo watches made in Switzerland for the anniversary of 92-year, and immediately spoiled thing. He wanted to change the battery, and was in fact accurate, but there fasteners (aka - contact) is very thin, delicate. Watchmaker helped with the clock all right, go, like a clock, sorry for the tautology. But it is a pity it was incredibly, that miracle of technology intervened in their rough paws. And all because I wear the watch on the hand with a direct purpose - to know the time and day. And so would lay in his native tselehonkim box, well, did not go to a shrunken battery, is it for the collection instance is not necessarily the same as gasoline and charging for collectible lighters ... I saw once at auction numbered Zippo for the anniversary of Mozart, in an exclusive package "all things" and, of course, a "zero". Yes the money at the time was not there. But for a long time thought it appear I have it, I would have lit it, or put it on the shelf untouched? And he came to the conclusion that all power would be lit. And listened to it under Mozart. But I'm not saying that this is the right approach. Rather, too, vice versa. But we live once. Long search, spend your hard-earned money on a miracle thing, just to look at her, does not feel like she was living ... not for me. A feeling once, then I want to feel the personality of a particular Zippo again and again ... I usually charged as many as five or six Zippo, and get a light on them alternately, with pleasure feeling the difference in the surface, in the clique in the smooth running of the cover. And in the flames ... When does this "platoon", charge the following "command". Lighters 30-40's closed-Socks - lighters 60-70, which is wider and flatter windscreen - and modern Zippo with a rectangular "chimney" - they all give different shape flame. And the hands of different feel their body. For example, the military with flat sides and a convex bottom is very "gentle" in the hand, secluded, warm as native animal, the standard form is not so, and with a replica of 1941 - also lacks a convex bottom. Zippo with a very solid plates are opened and closed, as if some say its weighty word, and it seems that they know more than the usual. The rectangular shape gives pure light closing like a cheerful greeting from a friend. And so on. As well leave it all nerasprobovannym? |

That's right! I've been constantly 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. Periodically, I think of cigarettes is to quit, go entirely on the tube, but ... take a look at your Zippo ... This is what they will get dusty around ?! And I'll occasionally listen to their vsklikivanie, look at the flame, listen to the song dancing covers ?! I can not! It turns out my Zippo stimulate cigarette smoking. And it was a cigarette, because pipes and cigars from 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, happy as a child. Never ceased to hold it in your hand. especially like to keep when she was still lukewarm. But the thing, bought her pocket and made a drinking bout in a hostel on the matter. The protagonist, was naturally Zippo.NU And break it! Snapping off the cap, the holiday ended mgnovenno.Remontiroval it myself, where there is a service repair, I do not know so far! Here's a look that poluchilos.V general as in a fairy tale about a bear, it still will not give up, because he is good! |

| After the story concluded-Zippo into the wrong hands is not to give! Repair was long, by trial and error. Payka- welding at 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 does not work, because it is. if both the upper rivet, the insert does not fit, and if the breaks, then later it will not pull out !! Other damage was not, I think, and then break down and nothing more! I wonder who has what damage was and how to deal with them? Or is there a Russian service center? |
