I'm a just wondering if anyone else uses or collects the famous Zippo?

I do, and I have an 'Ace of Spades' and a 'Soul Crusher Tattoo' Zippo, bith genuine.

Think I still have my matt black one knocking around somewhere. Also had the fake ivory one with the lighthouse carving on it.

Gave up smoking nearly 9 years ago so they don't hold quite the same attraction for me these days.

I have a matt black one, has a picture of an old man with a lantern on it. From Led Zep IV, came in a display card surround with physical graffiti cover on it. Never used it just in case it ever becomes valuable, probably never, but you never know.

I have three bronze ones, 25 years, 18 years, 12 years old.
Used now and then.
Also have an engraved Jack Daniels one that my ex gave to me - never been sparked.
Finally I have a silver one which I've never used.

I have had a silver one with with an Angel imprint on the face plate. After a new one though as the lid is becoming wobbly and it has a dents and scratches.

Send it back to Zippo, I think they will repair if for free. I'm sure I have the same issue and I got it back repaired and had new inside as well.

i have 5 or 6 of them, a couple of harleys from the USA. a slim one with my name engraved from canada. some with soviet emblems on from russia.

and they arent 'from' somewhere, i either literally purchased them whilst in that country, or my mate brought them back from russia for me as he lives in st petersberg.

theres a specific poker one out there that i want but its like £40 where i can find it:/

my girlfriend also bought me on for my birthday one year engraved with uTa Joker on the front.
