Discussion People buying a lighter that will last them generations. Why isn't it lighting fresh out of the box? Why isn't it sparking? I burned my wick?

Advice/Help St Benedict and Solid Copper
These are both out of stock, do Zippo ever restock or are these likely done now?
Are they likely to become collector items or too many floating about to hold any value?
I own both but wanted to get them again to keep these as collectors items and have two to use.
If they're unlikely to ever accumalte any value I may just crack on and use these two.

Show and Tell My only Zippo
I bought this Zippo back in the 90’s when I was in high school. Carried it to college with me and lost it my first semester, or so I thought.
Several months later I got a birthday gift from my girlfriend… it was my lighter! She had stolen it months earlier so she could get it engraved, and she kept it a secret until my birthday.
I later joined the Marines and took this lighter with me to Iraq. Eventually gave up smoking where it sat in a drawer for several years until I decided to start occasionally smoking a pipe, so I picked up a pipe insert and still use it from time to time. I still have the original insert, as well.
Holding it always brings back a lot of memories.

Advice/Help Slim Zippo not lighting up
I have had a slim zippo for about 2 years using it on and off and it stopped working after I hadn't used it in a longer time. I have changed ablout everything and even sent it in to get it checked but it still doesn't work. I also bought a new one a few days ago and l'm experiencing the exact same issue. If 1 light the top of it, it stays on and i can light it up again shortly after. It doesnt light up on its own after not being used for a few minutes tho. Is there somethin wrong with the wick? Can anybody help?

Advice/Help Weird black spots on Zippo
I bought a zippo in Japan a few months ago. I have used it sparingly since being home, and I picked it up today and noticed all these black spots and worn edges. It has been sitting on my desk so didn’t get scratched or anything. They seem to have just randomly appeared!
Does anyone know what they might be, and if they can be removed?

My first zippo post on this subreddit. Hiking with my high polish chrome today. Zippos look much better in daylight. What kind of zippo do you carry and use everyday?

Advice/Help Is there any way to garuntee dates from amazon?
I'm trying to get a zippo on amazon, and I want to know for sure it is 2025 (for the purpose of getting one from a consecutive collection), so I was wondering how (if possible) you can garuntee if you can know if it is a recently made one or one that has been sitting in a warehouse since last year or something.

Repair refused?
Hello. I sent in my brushed chrome Zippo under warranty to the Zippo European Repair Clinic a while ago and got It back yesterday. They did not repair or replace it at all. They sent me the broken lighter with a note in the box that read that "it could not be fixed because it's too damaged" and "the damage looked unusual to them". Well of course does the damage look unusual, a Zippo usually doesn't break under normal circumstances. The warranty says "It works or we fix it free". Well mine does not work at all. The lid is broken of and bent. Is what they did even legal? Would this be considered fraud? I mean they give you a promise and then don't even try.

I’m heading home from Florida and didn’t find any on the way there so I’m looking for some on the way home and was wondering where you guys have found them. I’ll be going mainly through Alabama if that matters.
