MASSIVE Zippo Collection of over 600 Zippos
Hey everyone, It's been awhile!
I have missed making videos, so I felt it was time to do a collection update video. (I was limited on music choices, so feel free to mute it or substitute with your own.)
If you have any questions regarding specific themes, Zippos, or displays, let me know in the comments. Future content may be based off of comments received.
Over the years I've been inspired by so many collectors on the various ways one can display, and organize their collection. That is what I hope to do when making my videos, inspire new and current collectors to grow and display their collection proudly. I LOVE a well organized and displayed collection and I am fortunate to have a space where I can do that.
The beauty of collecting is that everyone has their own taste, own style, and own opinions on what should be collected. I tend to have a wide interest of themes: Historical/ Replica models, personal Zippos, limited Zippos, random smaller themes, NASCAR, or just cool designs.
No matter if you think that it is overkill or not, that is what I enjoyabout collecting (especially Zippos). You do you.
I currently own around 800 Zippos, but keep about 600 displayed in my collection. The others usually make it own eBay or sold on Facebook groups to other collectors.

It truly was a fascinating world of lighters back then when Zippo was founded: Ronson, Evans, Dunhill, Flamidor, Mouchon, Quercia, Lancel, Myon, Karl Wieden, Kaschie (Karl Schieder) and many more.
