hey cutlerylover i love your videos, i bought today my first zippo style lighter and its very fun flipping and playing with it, thanks for your zippo trick tutorials!
Wow. Didn't even know people collected Zippos. I didn't know that there were so many different types of them. I guess you learn something new everyday. I think I might start collecting them.
+Doggieman1111 Correct in the US it becomes "public domain" though if a business locks it's dumpsters or puts the dumpsters behind a locked gate they can perhaps prosecute for trespass - that's about it. From a business perspective the lawyers may only be concerned about a possible liability issue if someone either got hurt at the site or from something pulled from the trash.
+Daniel Sultana Here in the US the trash business is mostly owned by organized crime ;-) Individuals either have to contract with a trash/refuse company or is paid through our taxes (such as our water, sewer, and refuse bill from the city). We sometimes even have to pay for recycling which ends up getting profit from both sides (at least in my case).
looking forward to the contest or giveaway, im just starting my collection and i love your videos. you got me started on my zippo collecting actually. and u have really good informational videos
jeff you just made my day i thought my zippo may have been fake... since it is a canadian made one. it was my grandmothers. mine is similar to your canada one but it has the quebec coat of arms.
Today I was playing around with my Zippo, and it fell out of my hand right onto hard concrete. The hinge got bent really bad, and I can`t get it to sit right anymore. Ah well time for a new one I guess. I`ve always liked the 1941 brass repro.
that 47 zippo is one i would dearly love to have. i have a truck from that year. i actually got first zippo on Friday. found it on the flore of an indoor car show. i did some research on it and found out it is a Harley Davidson Red Wings Zippo. my dad has a collection of zippos but i never really picked one up for myself.
Try to clean the area where the wick sticks out of your zippo insert, that should help i think.I believe that inconsistancy of the flame occurs due to the dusts and all kind of dirties that gathers from gasoline flame.
im 17, ive wanted one since i first saw one at about 8, and i finally got my first a few days ago. planning on starting a collection like this, very nice collection.
Two good examples of that brand name confusion are Band-Aid (Bandage) and Roller Blades (Roller Skates). Those were both brands that became universal names for the product families.
I have a collection of around 100 zippos, some worth around £300 - £400, (I live in Edinburgh Scotland) but the royal mail does not allow lighters to go through the post, even though I can still get them delivered ????
eBay is good for Camel Zippos too, I just got a couple Camel Joe ones. Out of curiosity, if something happened to one could I actually still send it in and get it back fixed?
and i have the same ocd thing aha, everytime i show someone something or have them in my room im constantly on edge making sure they dont messup my stuff
Knife collection update!!!! It's been like a billion years the last one was filmed with a rock instead of a camera lol just playing with you but itd be awesome to see it :))
Zippo lighter at 17:15 may be bought in Japan, but the engraving is in Chinese. Specifically, the language used is in Cantonese so it is probably copying a Hong Kong Coca cola ad ("Always is Coca Cola"). Nice collection!
...(continued) describes it has looking like the 46 DM but with a black Weehawk blade, it had a spring latch and the knife had some sort of serial number on it like the 51-1101's have, I'm really interested in buying it but the store is a trip away and I don't want to waste my time on a knife what's existence I can't even verify. If you know what benchmade model it might be I would appreciate the feed back thanks.
Hey jeff. nice vid! anyway, everytime i put a new flint in my zippo, it is too long, and there fore is very hard to turn the wheel. my zippo is the replica with the hinge on the side. it is official and i got it off the zippo website. what can i do?
Get one. Best Zippo ever. I can't stand the modern design anymore. It really is the best design I can imagine, and throw in a buck for the "Stylized" version, well worth it mate.
One reason i collect them is that they look cool. We don't collect them to use them. It's like a sort of 'trophy.' that we can show off. Some may have historical value or sentimental value.
Hey man love your videos, I have a couple zippo's and was wondering if you could tell me if the insert dates has to match up with case dates.? I have seen a few people saying they don't but was unsure so thought I'd ask the zippo king himself haha ! Keep the videos coming man great channel and merry Christmas! 😄
Just wondering from a noncollector why do you collect them? I'm not knocking them. I own 2 zippos myself but why need more than that? They are all the same on the inside except like zippo and zippo blue but please don't flame me I'm just asking an honest question. Thanks
