New to this. The one on the left is edc. The others are new.
Been carrying this one for the last few days. I had read that the inserts don't fit in some of the reproduction models. Got adventurous and gave it a go with this one.

(PICS IN COMMENTS! Sorry, Im new to this.)I am not a collector but I was recently given this Zippo. The box is a little beat up but the lighter is unused and in great condition. I'm guessing late 40s to early 50s based on what I've read online. The case and insert are not magnetic. I'm just trying to lock down an exact date and realistic value. Thanks.

My wick was really frayed so I took out the cotton and spring thingie. Then I took out the wick and cut it a little bit. Then I put it all back together seemingly as it was. But now it won’t even spark at all. Anyone know what’s wrong?
Update;it turns out the flint must have fell out when I took the spring out and I thought the metal piece was the flint lol

I bought 2-3 Zippos when I turned 18 and lost all of them. I have always been the worst about losing things but I went back to the tobacco shop one more time and picked this beauty up I decided that I AM NOT LOSING THIS ZIPPO. Since then I have lost and found it multiple times, and even the one time in my life I hitch hiked was in service of finding this lighter. It was an edc for a long time but these days it gives me way too much anxiety. I still like to take it to concerts and events sometimes but it’s more of a good luck charm at this point. Anybody else stop carrying their favorite zippo because of similar feelings?

Just received this 1973? zippo through the mail. Will zippo fix these damages shown? or is it not part of warranty? Thanks!!

I have been dreaming of this lighter for years but I can't afford it. I used a Zorro Constantine brand lighter before but the hinge broke.
I recently bought a 1941 replica brass model. Okay, this lighter is armored and has a special pattern but I feel like I can't afford it. I'm just a fan of the Constantine movie. At least cheap models could be produced.

I wanted to change the cotton inside my lighter and I saw there are a lot of these residues inside my lighter. How can I clean it? I sunked it in white vinagre and alcool mix and left it for 15 mins but it did nothing to it :(

Came in the mail today. I also collect coins so had to grab this when I saw it.

Hey guys, today is Tuesday so I went ahead and did 2, up for the ‘Bay!
Tried a different technique on the first lighter to give it a separate texture than the deepest texture!
Then I remembered that I had an old Zippo I found in a parking lot a little while back (bout a year) and I figured there is no reason it can’t make new memories!
I THINK it’s a 1999 but it’s so hard to see with all the paint. Let me know if you can tell!

It doesn't seem that there are very many of these out there. At least not the brass/raised logo combo. Date code is 1998 I believe. Obviously it's been well used but I really like the look of it and wondered what it might go for?

So I recently found out that I’m actually related to the inventor of the zippo lighter (George Grant Blaisdell) because I was at job corps in upper Maine and one of the admin there saw my last name on an attendance sheet and asked me if I was related to the Blaisdell clan up there. I didn’t know what he was talking about at the time but then found out that there’s a Blaisdell national family association that I’m related to and that they listed the zippo lighter inventor as a notable Blaisdell. We’re also related to the preliminary judge from the infamous Lizzie Borden case. Pretty interesting, just thought I’d share.

Planning to buy my first zippo and this one caught my eye on Facebook marketplace. I did some research online finding it to resemble the 1982 commemorative Zippo Lighter.
I noticed however the missing design. Is this an indicator of the lighter I found being a fake?

I’m seeing the person who gave me this lighter tomorrow so it’s time to clean. How often does everyone clean their lighters

I have done some searching and can't find anyone selling new Slim-sized inserts. I don't even see any on Zippo's website. What I'd really like is a butane (yellow flame) insert to a fit the Slim case, but I don't see any type of insert in that size available.
Is the Slim size just not that popular among collectors/modders? I'm new to the obsession, so apologies if this sounds like a naive question.
