r/Zippo

One of my first vintage Zippos. It's pretty hard to make out but appears to have 4 dots on each side. If I'm doing this right, that and the other details makes it a 1958.

Para empezar es verdadero? Y luego como puedo saber si es original y que precio es más o menos bueno? Lo encuentro por unos 60 dólares

Got the iridescent green soft flame insert and she's looking good!

Bought this one from my recent trip to Indonesia. There are like official Zippoboxes there in select malls in Jakarta and some other cities

The insert has a print of SNI on it. Never seen that before on any Zippos

Walmart has a bunch of Zippos on clearance for 11 bucks

Alright, so maybe "hate" is a bit much. 😆 I clean out storage units, and I came across this with its original box and price tag ($35.95), and some flint's hidden in the box.

It could use the wick trimmed, and a new flint, and a general cleanup, but I just added some fluid and it fired right up (of course).

It's a neat design, I like the patina, but it's got that wing that sticks down when it's open, it's kind of annoying. Oh well, it's a free zippo, I'll toss it in with the rest. 😁

After a month of changes, I decided to seal in the beauty with clear coat

I stumbled upon this on ebay it’s unstruck anyone know what it is?

Got the Vintage Look loaded up with the butane insert for 420. My first butane insert finally died last week after a year of heavy use.

Long story short: I got it today and I love it! :D

Or why I bought all three versions so you don't have to?

I'm not normally compelled to buy the usual modern collectibles, let alone all three regional versions. But here we are. I will highlight the differences.

Americas - Black ice finish, black colored insert. Red enamel inlay. 5000 available.

Asia - Tumbled brass finish, brass colored insert. Red enamel inlay. 2500 available.

Europe/Middle East - High polish black finish, black colored insert. Black enamel inlay. 2400 available.

Pamphlets are region specific.

Americas - Light green stripe. Language is US English only.

Asia - Dark blue stripe. Languages are Cantonese, Malay, Thai, Tagalog, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese.

Europe/Middle East - Black stripe. Languages are English (UK), German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Slovenian, Maltese, Polish, Arabic, and Greek.

Boxes are identical, aside from stickers. Americas box has the CA Prop 65 sticker. Asia has a notice to verify authenticity via WeChat. EMEA has no additions. All have their unique region barcodes.

Content extra is otherwise the same, in terms of the "Generations" booklet. Each of course having its unique pamphlet while the US release also includes the warning sticker on a wax paper(make sure to relocate this so it does not touch your lighter at all).

The regional pamphlets have undergone a lot of revisions over the years, as well as what languages are included. There is a separate pink stripe Mandarin language pamphlet, so not sure if there are any further region specific pamphlets issued for some places.

As for which one I prefer? Yes, that one. That one right there.

I just found this zippo in a parking lot and I know people ask this all the time, but what do I. Red to bend to fix the lid? Is there a web sight or YouTube series that teaches the basic “repair”?
