Unpacking Latest Aliexpress Purchase of a Couple Beautiful Solid Copper Zorro Lighters
These two solid copper Zorro lighters were a must for my collection! They look amazing and weigh quite a bit, lol. Was able to purchase both for less than what one solid copper Zippo currently costs.

This is the item that was supposed to be sent that Jennifer ordered off of Ebay for me for my birthday instead of the lighter from my previous video, lol.

A Jack Daniels emblem zippo would fit in this pouch?
The Jack Daniel's one with the plates on the front I own does fit into one of these pouches.
Great video, I've had a Zorro 912 (w logo) for about a year, going to order a 912s. I've always thought the Zorro lighters to be very well made for the price. One thing that drives me nuts on AliExpress is that you can purchase a few lighters, and months later the store may not exist anymore. I've never had a problem ordering/receiving, just wish I could go back and order from some of the stores I purchased from in the past.
Thank you very much. I know what you mean about the stores not existing after a while. I bought a nice Game of Thrones Zorro lighter a few years ago, and now I can't find the store/seller who had them. Only problem I've ever had in ordering was a store had sent me the wrong color lighter than what I had ordered. They refunded me the purchase price, except the shipping cost, and let me keep the lighter. I've had worse happen ordering off of Ebay from people in the States, lol.
I bought the cheapest Zippo lighter and it never kept the lighter fluid for more than a couple of lights. I tried adding more cotton and even bought the rubber seals for it, but never got good results. That was the end of my Zippo adventure.
Sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue before where it only lit a couple of times before running out of fluid. I have to ask though. You did use regular lighter fluid and not butane, correct?
@@zippolyonsden1623 Yes, though we do have both types of fuel because we both got the adapters for butane. Since my lighter (my brother's works great) never worked right, I haven't bothered trying the butane.
One more question. Did you repack the insert? Running the wick through the rayon in an "S" pattern. They do not come from Zippo packed correctly. Adding more rayon than what came with the Zippo could also cause it to be packed too tightly and not letting the fluid to absorb up and through the wick. There are a few good videos here on UA-cam that demonstrate how to properly repack a Zippo insert. As for the rubber seals, I've found them to be not worth it.
Two very nice looking lighters
They really are sweet. With all the talk about possible new tariffs on Chinese goods, I felt I'd better get them before that happens, lol.
Great video and amazing value... I am going to have to buy a zorro now.. Zippo will always be #1 though!
Same here for me that Zippo will always be #1. Being a collector of other brands of lighters as well, though, I felt I needed these in my collection. For the price, I couldn't resist.
Yeah they are pretty sweet. All these zorro videos make want to bust out the titanium. Also I think u talked me into getting a copper one. Your 100% right I could get two different ones with solid copper inserts for cheaper. And 20 times the copper lol it’s really a no brainer
They definitely are worth it. I ordered them November 16th and they arrived today. That was pretty quick coming from China. The three barrel one is 180 grams and the five barrel is 185 grams for just the case. Definitely a better constructed lighter for less than half the price for a Zippo solid copper.
@ yeah I actually just pulled out my brass one that I silver plated. Used the brass zorro insert also. I’m zorro fanatic 77 for the next few weeks
I saw the video on the one you silver plated. It turned out really sweet! I may have to go with gavin.lannan's suggestion and be Zorro Lyons Den for the holidays, lol. I have a titanium one coming in the mail yet. Been thinking about getting one of their pinball movement inserts.
@ I havent see the pinball insert. Should post it on your community tab so I can look At it. Your gonna love that titanium!!!
I'll look it up and post it.
Very beautiful set of lighters. I wonder if these are overseas or stateside? Is Zorro Lyons Den in the future? 🤪
They really are better than I thought they would be. They came from overseas somewhere in China according to the tracking. Lmao about the Zorro Lyons Den 🤣🤣. I wanted to order a few they have available before any new tariffs may take effect.
@@zippolyonsden1623 glad to make you laugh. Didn't see a link to the site, or is this a secret ??
No secret. I ordered them through Aliexpress. I didn't think to put a link in the description, lol. I always forget about doing that. I must be getting old 😁. I'll have to fix that when I get home later.
I love Zippo lighters but it's getting tougher to justify paying the prices they put on a street chrome with a subpar sticker. Zorro doesn't have nearly the selection but I've been more than pleased with each Zorro I have purchased. Great video.
I've been feeling the same way with Zippo and their prices in the last couple of years. Have also been very pleased with the Zorros I've gotten for my collection. They really are sweet lighters.
This lighter is legit!
It really is sweet that I finally was able to get it working again.
Yeah slick lighter buds. I like the zorro too. They Didnt come up with it though. An American did in his garage. It was called the Carlson War Armor. I have an original. It’s titanium also
The more I've been using it, the more I like it. I'm waiting for copper ones to come in the mail, hopefully soon. That is really cool about the Carlson War Armor! I didn't know that. I'm debating getting the Zorro titanium alloy one as well.
@ u can order a round top or square top. Pretty cool to have the option. Get the titanium. It’s way lighter in weight but so durable. A hunk of titanium That big has such a nice feel to it. Also u can anodize it any colour u want just gotta hook it up to electricity
I'm really liking the feel of the square top. Will definitely have to order the titanium one. They're all pretty cheap on Aliexpress currently. I wish I had started using the brass one sooner.
I'd probably make sure to put a drop of lube into that hinge every once in a blue moon. The tighter the fit, the more it will rub against itself and loosen. I also own the same brass model along with their solid titanium. Feel solid and really well built, but a bit big and impractical for my taste.
I have 2 of these , fuel lasts 7 months if it is not used, Zorro has a new lighter out now, same hinge but a slim lighter , Zorro ZL8
I've seen that one you mentioned on Aliexpress. I'm currently debating getting the titanium alloy 912. That's awesome to hear that these retain fuel that long! Thank you for letting me know.
@@zippolyonsden1623 I'm after a titanium one too, and a copper one , new seals will come with them too , they cost more here in the UK just like a zippo.
I'm trying to get the ones I want before next year starts and possible extra tariffs are applied here in the states. I'll be making a video on the copper ones when they get here. Hopefully sometime next month.
I've seen some with crazy deep carved engravings and they are like 20$,plus the only thing that might break is the hinge and they sell hinges too,you just have to diy,been thinking about getting one,it's just weird after so many years of edc zippos
Zorro definitely does have some pretty cool designs available. It's taken me a while to appreciate them after being a Zippo collector for years now as well. These 912 styles are really slick. I'm looking forward to getting the solid copper ones.
Glad you finally got it working
I can not believe I actually was able to find a bit long and small enough to be able to do it. Was only $2. Had to try it.
@ I’ll have to see if I can find one. I’ve got at least one Evans lighter with a froze flint.
I found this drill bit at the local Menards home improvement store.
Very nice lighter
It really is. Definitely a sweet design.
China is a harsh communist controlled regime .... do not dismiss that.
Yes, you are correct. Thank you for pointing this out. Hope you have a happy holiday season.
Looks like the zippo armor hinge has been replaced due to damage.
Nope, it's still the original hinge on the Zippo.
@@zippolyonsden1623Thanks, that hinge is very nice.
Welcome. The more I use the Zorro, the more I'm liking it. Having an actual brass insert as well instead of a brass colored steel insert is a cool bonus. I really like brass, lol.
Nice I love table lighters
I very happy to finally get this one working again. Didn't think I'd ever be able to, lol.
@ it’s alway those stubborn old flints
Especially with these older ones that have more involved lighting mechanisms. Not as easy as drilling a flint out of a Zippo, lol.
I only got the single torch in mine
I still need to get a single torch yet.
A very nice Birthday gift 🎁
Jennifer definitely knows what I like.
They mess up easily i had one a few days till it broke had to return it
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't use the ones I own very often. I prefer the regular inserts myself.
A very nice looking Zippo
It definitely is in good shape. I almost wish I could've kept it, lol.
Nice!
Definitely was a good find. I had watched it for a few days on fb marketplace and was surprised no one jumped on it. So I decided to, lol
That was a deal of a lifetime. Beautiful Lighter
Was definitely a deal I couldn't pass up. It made a nice little road trip as well. I think it may be gold plated. I'm not sure about that, though.
Lovely lighter
It was definitely worth the drive to get it. 230 miles round trip, lol.
Wrong gas. It will clog
I haven't had any issues yet. Been using it for a while now. Though, I must admit, I do not use them often. Any recommendations on what brand I should use?
Nice looking Zippo. Looks like the engraving could be from my channel 😅 I tried your style of videos and I’m no good at it.
It does look very similar to the flame light you have. Kinda funny how dirty it was and how bad the flint degraded. It took forever to drill the flint out.
That's actually very nice. Looked it up out of my price range a $106.
Yeah, I wish Zippo would've offered them at a cheaper price. I had found out on a Reddit group that they were coming out almost a year before Zippo released them and saved up for it. I have two solid copper Zorro lighters coming from China. They're thicker than this Zippo one and have machined hinges right into the case. Each was only one-third the price of this Zippo one. Looking forward to making a video on those.
@zippolyonsden1623 oh I see
Nice lighter, thanks for sharing
Thank you
Very nice Lighter Dundee pipe lighters were made in the 1950s and 1960s.
Thank you for the information. It definitely is in decent shape. I had absolutely no clue as to when Dundee produced lighters, lol. Makes it older than I originally thought. 🙂
@@zippolyonsden1623I googled it and that’s what it said.
Really? I've been trying to Google it and came up empty-handed. Thank you for looking it up🙂
Generally speaking most of the old school "2L-5N" or 2 letter-5 number phone numbers would have been phased out by the mid 60's. Even all number calling plans and area codes were seeing widespread implementation by the late 60's. Because of this I'd estimate the lighter to be at least five years older than 1970. That's just a guess though. At least in the case of Zippo lighters, I've seen old 2L-5N numbers as recently as 1970 or even 1974, but it's possible that in smaller rural areas where lighters were distributed, people would still know what the old style codes were anyway, so it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal compared to some large metropolis where a small business would get lost in the shuffle.
Thank you very much for the information. I'll definitely have to check into it and see when the numbers changed in Upper Michigan in the area of Ishpeming. If it's older than 1970, that would be pretty cool 😎. I haven't been able to find any decent info on the company that makes these Dundee lighters.
That’s a steal I paid 17 just for the torch insert alone
That's what I paid for my first dual torch insert as well. These, at this price, would make great gifts 🎁 for people.
What a beautiful piece of history
I ended up discovering where the soldier whose name is on the lighter was from the same town in Wisconsin as my paternal grandfather. I like to imagine that they knew one another.
@ that’s pretty cool
I even found old newspaper articles online that have pictures of what he looked like as well. He became a police 🚔 officer after the war.
@@zippolyonsden1623 that’s crazy I bet he never thought his simple lighter would be admired by collectors in the future
I bet he didn't as well. Sadly, Norman Daniel Roble died in 1974. Same year that I was born. Kinda weird coincidence.
I picked up this a while ago at my Walmart not long ago
It's definitely worth the $20.
@zippolyonsden1623 so true got mine for under $20 at Mt walmart
Awesome!! They're still $19.97 +tax at my local Walmart. We hardly ever get good sales.
That's a steal! And a great piece of history.
Definitely was a good deal. Has been fun and interesting researching the soldier whom it belonged to. Learn a lot about the gentleman.
Nice pick up.
Definitely is a good deal. It's nice that Walmart is selling more lighter options ever since they stopped selling fuild last year.
Very Nice
I’ve seen these bundles at Walmart at checkout. It’s a pretty cool bundle that gives you great versatility for different conditions.
They definitely are a nice little bundle. Really good price as well!
i was there month ago they had a case fresh all marked 9.99 i bought them all lol it's only money right
Damn! I think I would have as well. That's a very good price indeed!
My dad was in the 82nd Airborne Rangers he was a Csptin identified Hitler ending the European Champain he taught at Harvard dental School !
That's really cool! When would he have had access to Hitler's remains when the Soviets were the ones who both found and had them? I only ask because I'm sure it's an incredible story. I'm definitely thankful for your father's service.
Nice🇺🇸
It definitely is in pretty good shape for having been through WWII.
@ It is, I can’t wait to get one. How long have you had it?
I've had it now for about two years. It's the first WWII Zippo I was able to add to my collection. My other one is a four barrel from 1942.
Cant pass that up for $1
Definitely was a sweet find.
It’s got character. Glad you’re ok
Thank you. I can't believe it's been a year since it happened already.
Turned out very nice
Thank you

Nice
Since Jennifer and I discovered what manganese glass is, thanks to a fellow collector friend, we've been checking everything we see at stores, lol.
@ it has a beautiful color to it
When I saw it glow under the uv light I carry at the second hand store and then saw they only wanted $1 for it, I was like a kid at a candy store, lol.
