| I wonder who how and when to "come" to ZIPPO? I bought my first in 1996, at that time, I remember, long-dreamed about it probably since in some movie I saw did not even pomnyu.Veroy and the truth is I served 13 years, but in the spring zty otlomilols one link in the loop (or rather, I did not myself otllomil-like gap between the body and the cover-tucks are drawing in, well, with all the consequences.) But this is not the worst thing (especially not upset), above, noted that filling ceased to hold on, 4 days and all (basically ran the Newport'om). Decided to buy a new one, got into the internet, came across your sayt.Kstati, THANK YOU so much for him, very helpful and informative, learned a lot and as tsennogo.Ranshe thought: ZIPPO-it is ZIPPO, and, it turns out, there are different models, shapes, metals, etc. it.p.Vybral Replica, 1941, acquired, like, went back to the site and started ... I saw 161 Solid Copper, just once fell in love and, of course, could not afford otkazat.Dalshe gathered all the replicas, but again, the question arose: what does every day? (as a replica and Solid Copper was sorry wag). Finally bought Armor 162 Armor and 168, and the rest now, perhaps, in kollektsiyu.Kstati, Armor 162 at the moment, perhaps my most favorite. And the very first back in the ranks: shifted cotton, filled with gasoline native, holds as ranshe.Nado get her away, after all, is history, sorry to be interested in the future poteryat.A Armor'y, they happen a lot. |

| Good story, and thank you for your kind words about the site :) 13 years is a long time! By the way, it would be interesting to see who has the most long-standing experience with the Zippo of those present (American friends do not count :) (I've moved the topic in the "Collectibles" - there it the right place :)) | |

| Yes, thank you for your story, it was very interesting!)) Reading it, I could not help remembering my first steps and first impressions when I started collecting Zippo, I just like you, thought that Zippo-one and have Zippo! But then, seeing as there are different models that are not similar to each other, I realized that one is not limited zazhigalochkoy My first model was antique copper, I originally bought it for everyday use, well then, when I came to the conclusion that I want to start collecting, I somehow felt sorry for a brand new zippo.Mne get a light at all was not fundamentally than get a light! Could cricket, but decided to just collect Zippo I also wanted at the time, as you get 161 solid copper, but then as- it has forgotten about her ... though it may take even imagine such a beautiful all the same! I liked your story and your undertaking! Way to go!))) |

| Yes of course all of this is interesting because of the zippami))) I have hobbies Zippo history began in 1993, when I was a cadet course pervrgo military - naval school in our town went ship U.S. Coast Guard official visit USCGC MELLON, well, in an excursion went at it during rounds noticed a soldier who was talking and playing lighter (good can communicate) asked to see what is playing, and then he got in a present Zippo than ukak said was extremely happy, but it turned out so that the lighter was stolen . and then I started to systems on every visit for the sole purpose of Zippy. time went on release in 1998 on the distribution of Kamchatka interest in lighters was lost because the service has absorbed all the free time and the attitude to the military is interested in such things are not always flattering on the part of certain organs)))), which is presented that has lost it from that time there was only Lighter with a Canadian ship, but then in 2000 kamchanku comes with an official visit USCGC BOUTWELL and the leadership question and who may, in their language then sputter))), so I offered my services. lighter the ship was not, but I was there one very naughty story)))) which gave me and satine chrome with emblem of the Coast Guard))) it is in my collection, not all in the navy Zippo on our site, and so I steel at every visit involved as perevodchika.so time has come to Petropavlovsk and USCGC MELLON (that's where I was a student), and here it is, I certainly do not miss the opportunity to get a Zippo, transferred to Vladivostok in 2006 and then sold it really being said ))) has bought up nearly all lighters from local vendors honestly stolen from the Americans)))) came out in the internet found this site, registered on eBay and buy a full Zippo directly from the U.S. that's a story for me))) |

Hello! Newcomers are taking? :-) Well, actually, about my Zippo: The first Zippo sav bought as a gift for his birthday in 1995. Such was: 
Somehow I knew right away that a little me! :-) Visited me in Grozny on a business trip in 1996m, then stole :-( Following in the same 96m girlfriend brought from Finland. This is live and works without any problems so far. Here is a. Black Matte 
Then a 10-year wedding (In 2000) gave himself another: yB!~~0_1.JPG)
Ochchen would then zipu the brake. Also stolen a few years (the family by then safely collapsed) Next, solid copper in the 2006m gave each birthday. And a couple (Black Matte "Las Vegas" and Brushed Chrome) brought another friend of the trips to the States. And, at least someone and say that this is simply a serial remake, for me, each of them near and dear. no difference in their ages and the prevalence. And it's got, when someone placed an order to bring a can of gasoline and a little looking about her something in Yandex. How did so and hovered there for 3 days, until everything is read. At the same time, and decided on the focus of the collection. It will be a motorcycle theme (would be stupid biker collect Zippo on another topic :-) Threat. Found on ebee both lighter as I had been stolen, and this is something nostalgic covered that they both decided to preobresti for stories. Maybe I'm a fetishist? :-) |
