I just got back from gatlinburg, tennesee and did a little shopping and bought my first zippo. I just bought it for hunting so its in a camoflauge pattern. After gettin back home and realizing how nice they look i have decided to start collecting these. My next one will be either just a plain silver one or a diamond plate ford zippo. Any 1 else collect these, or have one There was 1 paintball field there with only 1 field didn't ever get chance to go in but look ok. -------------

Ronson company and Zippo company have been around for about the same amount of time. But I don't know who came up with the wick, alcohol soaked pad, capped, wind-proof design first. My guess is that it was Zippo. ------------- Most importantly - People suck. |

I've had a couple of plain zippos, and one with a hand of poker on it. I have a pyramid one where the lid pulls away the top to reveal the eye. It says Carpe Diem. I love zippos and try to always keep one around. -------------

i've wanted a zippo for about 2 years (ever since i went to the Zippo Museum/factory in Pennslyvania) but my parents won't let me get one because they think if i have a lighter I'll smoke and burn down houses and stuff, but i won't. all i want it for is so when i hear a song i really like i can start waving it. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">
