You sit so sometimes you think ... that I have for example in 1947 will be a couple of days, and its first customer, I think there is already no Cry . and its power to stay in this slice of life Zippo

It is true, that portal, and sometimes I believe that a little more effort - and the portal will work. If you will not get what you see and hear. But why, then, "do not use"? We used something a little more energy. It is from the fact that they not only flavor era, but they are surrounded by the fact that the people who owned them, worried. Especially if it is, say, military lighters that actually fought. A unused in boxes stored only traces of old industrial machines, the store shelf and cupboard where he kept for decades in the darkness and oblivion ...

Yes, time travel theme always interested me ...! But here a little ambiguous feeling about energy agrees, but also has its unused energy, it could also lie in the window of the store past which people walked and drove mashiny.Da and the fact that they are now sold to private individuals also said that they were bought ...

Agree with your choice of any collector. First, the complete set of lighters, packaging and accompanying documents are always better. Second, the ideal state is desirable for a subject that is in the collection itself, and not the story of the owner. :) Thirdly, I suppose still deployed, a good energy of the owner ... And if it does, God forbid, suffered a misfortune, when it was this lighter? So you are acting correctly. :) This is my own "when closing." Thing is to have the following time and signs that she had been through. And the "decorations" owner delight me more than saddened, of course, if they themselves are interesting to me. A few days ago, a guest in Tallinn, went into the military-antiques, without much hope, but said his wife, "it would be cool to see here Zippo with Estonian military symbolism." I knew this crazy idea. And then - zippo, 2000 (the "transition" double tagging year), absolutely, "native", BUT (!) With the emblem of the Estonian Army, it - the emblem of the Estonian SS legion! Immediately bought. Let me explain: the sign shown in the buttonholes of the Estonian SS legion - this is not Nazi symbols, it already appears in the Estonian award, established in 1919 and is awarded for the struggle for independence, and the most recent such award was presented in 1925. That is, it is an old Estonian military character. I really was thinking this Zippo sign strengthened during production, so to speak, a limited edition commissioned by the Estonian armed forces. But on closer inspection the subtle traces of visible solder ... or the dirt. I can not understand yet. But both of them are good. If soldering the factory, I have "superogranichennaya series." Well, how could order Estonia for its armed forces in the total population of two million? If soldering did the owner, then in my hands almost "trench art". This is especially valuable: Lighter, on which the owner has left the "seal" of his personal history, coupled with world history (which is any war, or any armed forces). Although zippo signed Finnish Armed Forces, made certainly in order for the plant, also love. Zippo - this is definitely a disease, but it develops. Nietzsche, I remember, was grateful for the illness that she had taught him a lot. Disease called zippo taught and continues to teach me to love stories. I am in search zippo Second World War, in an attempt to decipher the meaning of the engravings, "protsarapok" and napaek on military lighters, learned about World War II or, say, the war in Vietnam, a lot of new things. For example, zippo 43-45 with soldered Icelandic coins led me to information that Iceland chose neutral in the war, but it became a rear base for the allied forces. Lighter engraved emblem of a military unit, name the soldier and the places listed fights (almost all of Europe) led me to the name in the lists of solata, and then at the history of this part, including the feature films of the battles in Europe, books about them, and so etc. Collectible is "door" in the world, and zippo for this very well, because it is not a stamp, for example, lies in the album, and the object is actively involved in the life of the world. They lit cigarettes, cigars and pipes, shine in the dark, warm, blow tank (like Spielberg told us). One of his zippo I covered his way at night on a dark staircase, as in the power goes out, and walked in its light on the tenth floor. Another part in the film, and, lighting on it, I can see that from her as an actor lights up on the screen in front of my eyes. And so on ... And more: zippo gives fire and, therefore, is associated in our subconscious that stores the experience of their ancestors, with the gift of Prometheus, the most valuable asset of humanity at the dawn of its history, so that helps to survive, in fact - with life itself. When once in the woods, I thought he was lost, I was really reassured thought: "Nothing with me zippo, not perish." This idea is not so crazy, as it might seem. This thing is always light up, it explodes in their hands, as the gas, not dampen, and therefore will make a fire, will illuminate your way long, to give the signal ... foolproof "fire early man" in your pocket. From this point of view, if zippo - a disease, such as the desire to live.

That's what I'm saying. Is this a divorce, the transitions from the coating to the oxidized brass base is not as beautiful as the mysterious transition detached amalgam of the old mirror? Nelly is not more interesting than flat and clean "zero" surface, the same as on the lighter in the decade before the 47th, and after a decade?

Well, I rather prefer the more common instances that one might say America went from hand to hand, so of course the Estonian version of me is not interested by.Dlya me no matter what is depicted on the cigarette lighter, rare is the model or not, the main thing for me its condition YEAR , year vypuska.I the older the same Zippo luchshe.Vzyat 1969 model dedicated to planting amerkantsev lune.Stoit lot of money, but it interests me for two reasons, first drawing beautiful)))), secondly it is the Woodstock Festival 1969 goda.I watching a documentary about nem.V generally inspired by the romance of the time, which I love, fashion, style, music, mashiny.V one point near the end of the movie people prints several cartons of cigarettes Marlboro and distributes them to people and I'm sure many of them were Zippo and may the very model astronavtami.Kstati you write about the lighter, which took part in the film, and can be in more detail what the movie and Zippo? Cool

Not too much detail: a little-known film, auteur cinema, Russian. Member of the Berlin Film Festival. I am in the film was one of the writers and the second director. No more talking, because anonymity - one of the beauties of the Internet. :) It so happened that I was, years later, was given a lighter, which was used for filming. :)

A couple of days did not come here and have the whole debate! This is very encouraging, so we are not units of sick people. I loved the expression Solobok "Especially if it's, say, military lighters that actually fought. A unused in boxes stored only traces of old industrial machines, the store shelf and cupboard where he kept for decades in the darkness and oblivion ... "and kypexin" Are these divorces, the transitions from the coating to the oxidized brass base is not as beautiful as the mysterious transition detached amalgam of the old mirror ? "at home such tserkal no :) but when I see often wonder, even with good intentions, you can not see what I saw it reflected on its surface and froze there forever .... I think these thoughts postyagayut many people who have non-standard and expanded internal world which tends to chemuto nepovsednemnomu and what the parties are fabulous. Ehh Zippo how many people you're infected and hit their lighters .... And as was said above Zippo Lighter gives us fire, and the fire is one of the most precious gifts of humanity, without fire nebylo nothing that we now see no fire nebylo this forum nebylo keyboard on which I now sit typing this message to you friends, and with my father, Sadie and watching TV without a fire which tozhe nebylo! so that there's fire nebylo us ....

I'm also sick in the Zippo, and as such I consider home.

A very enjoyable time, even intimate, first filling, the first ignition. As soon as a new Zippo in my day leaves three packs of cigarettes (cigarettes usually 15), it was too baldezhno open, burn, light it and close with a nice click.

But unfortunately there are no rarity. And I want and I think will and not one, so that was only to use and in good condition body, was seen by an insert that before her very active use, but the previous owner (the owners) treated her gently. And in his hand, lighting of it feel a story. And if even lighter and 30-40s, but totally untouched in the box IMHO somehow not interested in Seeb lay somewhere in the trunk or in the warehouse and did not accept but let mizirnogo participation in creation stories.

Causes mixed feelings. They can be illustrated by the phrase "no sorrow - the woman bought a pig." Today marked the beginning of the collection of the alcohol theme (like attached) - bought Jim Beam. zippo Terribly pleased. Now, do not think it will fly off engraved plate, something not so loud open, can I use as a routine, where to store, or buy another pause.

The best part is that imesh vesh that damn elegant, begins to live and serve ...

By the way, tell me, where is located in Moscow, antique shop or market, where there is a lighter?

I collect Zippo on three factors:

1) Everything that is related to cars and 90's.

(Very rare after the 90th and Zippo),

2) At times across these lighters, to whom I can not resist,

or just for me, they are very interesting, as they say his eye.

3) Lighters that should be in every collector, what type to 65, 75.80 jubilee anniversary Zippo.

And for me, no matter new or old it is, cheap or expensive, I'll take it as far as I can time and money I am giving all my free time collecting.

Zippo-I think it is a disease, but with a good ending, as some ekzymplyary sometimes striking in its beauty and the value of the gold and diamond simply pale before the Zippo.

And as usual for all the family, who just can not understand this feeling, adding a regular Zippo, the very essence of what we collect them, we seem to move a little sick and not at all, but just some part of it.

The essence of this phenomenon was expressed in a film amerikosovsky old seasoned engineer:

-That's what you would like in the civilian world?

Well, his house, to a large living room, fireplace, three toilets and baths, a garage for two cars, one caddy, like Elvis, the second Corvette Stingray ..

-And then?

-C4 and all overlaid pizdanut, that laid the ears!!

Zippo is, of course, the disease ... Only good kakayato benign, I think.

It's even more than the disease, it is a way of life, as an incurable disease, but rather, I am deeply convinced!

Zippo - our all, in general! =)))))))))))))))))))))))
