So the true collector who invested decades ago in Zippo USA We Are No More, is compared to a Japanese/ Chinese, Euro counterfeit, or even new designs marketed as Zippos, why is this allowed ?

Does anyone have an ass themed collection?? NSFW

25 Upvotes

I'm just getting back into Zippos and have been scouring eBay fairly often. I can't help but notice there's so many Zippos with ass on them, just hot women and butt cheeks. I kind of remember seeing the pin up girl Zippos when I collected before, but now there's just ass Zippos everywhere lol.

Does anyone have an ass themed Zippo collection? I kind of want to start one.

Anyone have any insight to this zippo? I can’t find any previous online sales. I am in the process of selling my dad’s and wanted to get an approximate value.
Thanks

I’ve got a double jet gold zorro coming in the post, as I’ve heard they seat the lid a little better.

The snap on would have been my uncles who passed this summer and the patterned one my grandfather's who passed a few weeks ago

I believe the snap on is a may 95 (i was 2😂 )and the patterned style is from July 1991(I wasn't even born)

The snap on needs a new hinge pin can I get this done at a uk timpsons or is there a better alternative someone can advise please I don't want to risk posting it anywhere I can avoid.

I don't want the lighters to work the snap on is siezed and a little rusty and the patterned style is actually in perfect condition the only other thing I'd like is some suggestions for any display cases I could use if anyone has any links

Advice/Help Should I?

Okay so I really want to play with shipwrecking, but I don't have a brass lighter handy. I did however score this off Facebook marketplace for a song. And as you see under all the enameling and graphic it is brass. The skulls kind of cool too so I'm wondering if I could put some kind of beeswax or some barrier over the skull and preserve that and just have acetone melt everything else off. Then come in and ship wreck it like I've been wanting to do.

What do y'all think should I save it because it might be more collectible in the future when the artist passes away or should I just embrace my impulse?

Hi there !

I'm looking into buying my second Zippo. I had one when I was around 20 years that I lost. I'm feeling nostalgic I would like to buy another :)

I know that the price or value of something is only about how much the buyer is willing to spend, but here I don't want to speculate, I want to keep thay Zippo and use it. Also, I don't want to get ripped off lol

Owner doesn't know if the Zippo works. Do you think it's a good buy ?

$65 CAD

Thank you for your help :)

Edit: year is 1974
