Some friendly advice. If you don't use your Zippos remove the flints as over time the flints will decompose in the tube,and freeze. Also remove the Orange Warning Stickers. As these are only put on by law and they will over time ruin the finish on your Zippo. Oh and i don't see any fakes in your collection,i think the other people shout Fake to much and to often.
You should probably use gloves to touch them, over time, the oils from your hands will decrease the shine of the finish, or remove the finish altogether (kinda like your grandfather's lighter, where the brass is showing through). I know it's silly to put on gloves to touch something like that, but if you want to keep them as pristine as possible, that's the way to go. :)
I'm not a collector but I just bought a Harley Davidson zippo that's a bit too nice to use. I think I'm gonna put it up and get me a silver armor zippo lighter.
If the wick is white and there is no sign of use, a Zippo is considered to be in mint condition. Most collectors remove all stickers and flints, for storage. Place price sticker on back of box.
Don't worry the Singapore Zippo is still made in the USA. It was given to me from a good friend that went there for vacation they picked it up at the local hard rock.
Great video! Keep making more of them. :) if u don't want one of your London hardrock cafe zippo's I would love to have it, I'm just starting my collection. Thanks.
i also find that the lid dosnt close all the way... and its always crooked. the spectrum one that i have has the best construction out of any zippo that i have seen.
Hi, thanks for your advices, I'm a (little, new) collector and for now I've not removed the warning stickers nor the flints. I've not removed the stickers since those Zippo are brand new, "mint". Usually the collectors remove those stickers? What about a proof of an unused Zippo? Thanks and sorry for the maybe-stupid questions
Yes some smoke shops sell them a lot of mine came from a local cigar store that I enjoy supporting. but you should be let into smoke shops I started my collection about the same age as you and I was never asked when I went into the smoke shops even when they where out of state
When are you going to start making videos again dude? Its been years since your last upload. I thought you were by far the best zippo reviewer on here. Please start doing more!
the your dads Marine corps zippo is dope, I'm leaving in a couple of months to MCRD San Diego. I hope to collect some before I dip I only got two at the moment
Awesome collection man, I am starting a collection of my own and I only have 4 as of now( plus other different kinds of lighters) and I was wondering if you would sell any of your zippos. Please reply in message thanks!
don't pay more than 25 bucks for one on amazon... but i don't recommend a painted one, like fully colored. the one i just got (matte white) doesn't work as well as some of my others that are shiny metal. i like the spectrum ones the most. buy them on amazon
I'm sorry to say, but just because a zippo doesn't spark or light doesn't mean you have to send it in. Go to a gas station they sell flints and fuel. I've found mine at a local shell station. Although I must admit it is an awesome collection. I've got two zippo's, one is a regular, where the case was made in 1998 and the insert was made between 1961 and 1963, then I've got a slim that was made in 1968.
Trust me I have tried replacing the flint that was the first thing I did. I believe who ever owned it last hit the flint wheel on something and moved it so it doesn't spark the flint right
ok let me just say when i saw this video on my suggestions i died laughing cuz i have a small collection of lighters going myself (only 19 so far not even zippos) n i dont even smoke(just to have handy) ;) anyway UR AWESOME KEEP IT UP
I have been to the hard rock in Niagara Falls canada/buffalo NY it's awesome I wish I was into zippos when I was there though because I would of got one but unfortunately I wasn't there stuff in there is EXPENSIVE I bought a Jimi Hendrix Tshirt and I love it
high, my mom has over 100 Zippos, they are nice and they brand new. She passed away and I was wanting to give them a good home. Would you be interested? No, I'm not selling them. I would give them to you.
Hey guys iam Not Smoking but i want to buy a Zippo Because i think you can have much Fun with it XD... Can someone say how much zippos cost , i mean basic models, btw i dont want the basic silver Thing . One with a bit Color would be Good (Braun).
fuck the ones you get are cheap, over where i am (Australia) there $69.99 AUS bloody rip off, i even bought one off DX.com (the first one you got) for 23.99 i believe
Truly jealous of you're collection man, its really an awesome collection.
Nice collection its made me want a display case like this for mine.
awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome collection!
Great collection, love the display case and all the zippos!!!
Nice collection there. It's great you appreciate your collection and are sentimental towards a few of them.

I understand people not opening there zippos but unless it is a specific collectors edition. I can't resist opening it and using it.
50 some zippos? I have one and I love it!
on the zippo website the 18k gold is $15,621
Neat idea to use a magnifyer to show them cool video so I'll rate 10 outta 10 right there.
kinda funny a few days after i watched this i got one of these at a flea market for 5 bucks so i guess its a streak of luck that i had
I love the Alice in Wonderland Zippo! Ever since I saw this video, I watch eBay constantly for that one. Cool video.
Such a nice collection, thanks for sharing!
I have to check out the newer one too :-)
if i sand down my chrome zippo will i get original copper showing through?
you might want to take the stickers off of you lighters. it causes discoloration after you keep them for a long time
Cool selection. I'm looking to start collecting zippos, and I just ordered my first one. It's a matte black one.
I have a Zippo with Sebastian from Black Butler on it, my first and only one I have
I love that venetian zippo, how much was it??
Keeper of the flames and mountain with moon are my favorite
@smd12392 its spelled Corps, its pronounced CORE, I've been serving for 4 years.. just a heads up

nice collection but you can put all the hard rock next to each other
REALLY Nice. If you've still been collecting I bet its huge by now.
I'm not a collector but I just bought a Harley Davidson zippo that's a bit too nice to use. I think I'm gonna put it up and get me a silver armor zippo lighter.

Where did you get the case?
Great video! Keep making more of them. :) if u don't want one of your London hardrock cafe zippo's I would love to have it, I'm just starting my collection. Thanks.
I just got a 50's zippo for $1.
check out some malls, tedeschis, or gas stations sometimes they have a rotating display case with zippos
I started collecting about 4 years ago maybe a little less then that.
about 3 years ago after I got the two from my grandfather I started to research them and buying more and more.
i really like the moon and mountains one are they still available because i havent seen one
i also find that the lid dosnt close all the way... and its always crooked. the spectrum one that i have has the best construction out of any zippo that i have seen.
I got that from a local cigar store but you can find it on sometimes on ebay I believe the name of it is the buckle up zippo

I had the hardest time not opening the first one I decided to do that with... I still have trouble with it.
where did you get that case my friend?
Yes some smoke shops sell them a lot of mine came from a local cigar store that I enjoy supporting. but you should be let into smoke shops I started my collection about the same age as you and I was never asked when I went into the smoke shops even when they where out of state

I like the collection, I have 3 discontinued harley davidson zippo lighters.
Cool your collection ... When you started?
Awesome collection man, I am starting a collection of my own and I only have 4 as of now( plus other different kinds of lighters) and I was wondering if you would sell any of your zippos. Please reply in message thanks!
hello friend.
as is the name of that box that you put lighters?
to where I can find?
hugs
2:55 , i love it
what do u want for the golden hardrock café???
don't pay more than 25 bucks for one on amazon... but i don't recommend a painted one, like fully colored. the one i just got (matte white) doesn't work as well as some of my others that are shiny metal. i like the spectrum ones the most. buy them on amazon
im getting your third one (first you had) very soon :D looks mad
you dont need to send them in, just get new flints?
I'm sorry to say, but just because a zippo doesn't spark or light doesn't mean you have to send it in. Go to a gas station they sell flints and fuel. I've found mine at a local shell station.

If you go to ebay and put in Marlboro Zippo there is usually a couple on there
Im feeling pretty patriotic hearing u mention the Singapore's Zippo. How did you get it? Mine's a brushed chrome.
I've got a miniature zippo with the CAT logo on it....any idea on value?
is that the canon eos 20d in the bacround??
i really like the 80th edition, which is very rare. trying to find it in UAE. nice collection.
When have you started collecting?
Hello sir how old where you when you started collecting lighters?
i got this end of trail zippo i couldnt find it from internet is it rare??
Far as i know, all Singapore Zippo's engravings & emblems r done locally.
how much money did you spend on those?
Would you sell the alice in wonderland zippo?
I wish I had your spectrum I was disappointed with mine I wanted more purple but it was mostly yellow and green which was a bummer
Trust me I have tried replacing the flint that was the first thing I did. I believe who ever owned it last hit the flint wheel on something and moved it so it doesn't spark the flint right
ok let me just say when i saw this video on my suggestions i died laughing cuz i have a small collection of lighters going myself (only 19 so far not even zippos) n i dont even smoke(just to have handy) ;) anyway UR AWESOME KEEP IT UP
How do u get zippos so cheap
where do buy most of your Zippos??specially your hard rock ones?
Zippo. com
Who watched it through and through, beggining to end? Lol
The lowest I've spent on a zippo was $8 and the highest I've spend on them is $80
change the flint and flint wheel, no need to send them in for repairs.
I'm in myrtle beach, just got the hard rock zippo here
are you from las vegas ?
Maybe, and any ways the case is brass not copper.
I have been to the hard rock in Niagara Falls canada/buffalo NY it's awesome I wish I was into zippos when I was there though because I would of got one but unfortunately I wasn't there stuff in there is EXPENSIVE I bought a Jimi Hendrix Tshirt and I love it
how old are you
They are now... they have a different case for themselves
Sorry that's because I live in New York and it's just how I talk I will try to fix it.
Nice cannon
marine "core"

not that it is any of my buisness but how can you tell?
I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 doesn't count as "most" genius.
I was waiting 4 hours at the que to buy the hard rock cafe-London zippo=/
high, my mom has over 100 Zippos, they are nice and they brand new. She passed away and I was wanting to give them a good home. Would you be interested? No, I'm not selling them. I would give them to you.
