Any zippo fans here? I'm trying to buy a nice one for a gift. Not those cheapy mall ones. Anyone know a good place to find rare zippos ?

 

Have you looked into the 1941 models?

 

not yet.. im open to ideas. 100$ is prob the most im willing to spend though.

any place you got in mind roger?

 

I got mine online from their site.

Pretty solid piece and doesn't look like any standard Zippo either.

 

I collect zippos, and honestly I believe it's the stories of how you collected the zippo then the actual rarity in the find for instance my dad gave me a zippo his dad had in ww2, my dad had it in the Vietnam war, and I kept it with me during afghan and Iraq. it's my most prized piece and it still lights .
a good place to find really kool zippos honestly are flea markets. you find some really old ones there people are trying to get I'd of and have no clue what the heck there worth.

 

Thanks guys.. I'm searching online for nice ones. It doesn't have to be vintage or rare.. just something that's different from the everyday cigar shop rolling display Zuppo.

 

get a butane torch.. zippos are so 80s. I have a couple and they're just sick.. totally windproof and all that. I use mine for camping.

 

i had a few zippos back in the day, nothing too special though. then i received a dupont lighter as a gift (~$2k) and haven't gone back to zippos since. nothing beat's the "tink" sound of a dupont

 

^ jebus... 2k lighter? wow

 

It's a gift.. I dont smoke personally so I don't care. I just want it to be a nice gift! haha..

so far I'm liking this one
