Sweet, I have a bunch of Zippos but none of mine are that old. Most of mine my wife bought me for a birthday or something like that. But I do have the one that has the Zippo car on it. And one that shows four cards of a royal flush, and when you open it, the fifth card to complete the royal flush can be seen.....I was really into poker when she bought that one.

I think that's called the "Surprise" series or something like that. I have a similar one for pool and it's the one I use the most often. Right now it has a butane insert my then girlfriend now wife got me for Christmas. Works great with cigars :-)

I like zippos. I got a few, nothing old but one is from an Air Force Base that closed in 1997 over in Turkey. That will be a rare one someday.

I have roughly 13-15 Zippo's but this one is my pride and joy. You can tell by the price it is very very old and has never been taken out of the box. It is flawless.

I used to have a fairly respectable collection of a little under 300...alas they were all stolen by a "friend"

I got quite a few zippos. Had them for a while. My dad left me some and some I just bought over the years. It just sucks when they fall out of your pocket. Ive lost quite a few zippos that way .

Only one I ever lost was while in the field in the Army in Germany I dropped a camouflaged one...it worked.
