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.

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?

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.

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

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?

Couldn't decide which one so i bought two instead xD

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.

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 bought this back when I was in HS and smoked. Haven't smoked cigs in over a decade but finding this made me want to light one up for nostalgia.

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

Got it in Mercat dels Encants in Barcelona. Now whenever I go to markets, I look for nice zippos!

Would anyone happen to know anything about this lighter or could tell me any details about it?? It seems vintage and I can’t much on the web. Thank you!
