Zippos are kinda that thing you collect knowing you'll probably never make big money from it. Unless you get ahold of some vintage ones from the war. I feel like most people collect them based on what they like. Racing fans collect all the NASCAR, for example... They come with lifetime warranties. So Zippo honestly needs you to own more than one.
@@ShadowFoam I have two of them, not gonna be much of a collector. I have an armor type, and a 360° design with high polish black. I use a butane insert Zippo makes to make it work like a Bic lighter. I don't smoke cigarettes, but I needed a good lighter for EDC. Which means the fuel can't be evaporating all the time. Not gonna use it much, but it needs to work when I do use it.
awesome work on the storage case, I adore ZIppos collected over 550 of them at one point, i had a subscription to the Deagostini magazine collection so id get a deliver each month. i like your content so new sub here :)

There’s no trick, no magic, no slip of the wrist..

I have a nice little collection myself. But years ago my ex wife lost my favorite one. It was a brass or gold colored with a star in the top where you open the lighter. On either side of the star I had my initials engraved in it. We were on a 2 person raft in North Carolina and she got this look in her eyes and tipped the raft . Now the lighter is at the bottom of a lake in NC. someplace. I can't find it anywhere it was a special edition.
Back in 1961, there was a customer who returned his Zippo stating that the lighter is too heavy. George Blaisdell returned the lighter along with his personal check of $3.50 with a note: "Please accept these with my compliments. Suggest you give it to one of your stronger friends." But Zippo listens to its customers. Zippo has over the years worked towards making the lighter weigh lighter. You would want to have a lightweight lighter. With armor Zippos, it just defeats the purpose. It only makes the lighter weigh heavier.
@@ShadowFoam because I just bought several and a few have minor defects. A couple have what looks like little bump on the artwork, another one has what look like very small pits in the artwork.
This was cool. I don't smoke but I do have a purple Zippo to go with the Victorinox Compact in my pocket. Because you gotta...lol Travel size alchohol bottle collection case. Zippo lighter collection case. Next up -> a pocket knife collection case?🤔🤓🇨🇦🇬🇧🍻
The one drawback to collecting Zippos is that I think no one will probably ever have every single one that has ever been made as their are thousands of different ones and and some of the older models like the 1941 models and 1953 models you can mostly get as modern reproductions and only sort of half count to a real collector
line the bottom of the tray with felt ya dope , or cut your foam for the bottom insert a wee bit deeper so the faces of the zippo's are not rubbing the wood bottom every time the box gets opened or moved . You have them flush , but you will see they will rub or you could mod some of that pile of hardware to make tray stops to prevent the tray from being forced down in a bit of haste closing the box ya. Right , get that bit sorted and ya got yourself 1 off safe place to store a 100 piece zippo lot.
It’s now worth a lot less than you likely paid for it, collector’s want pristine in the original packaging, you have probably dropped the value by over 75%
Yes I agree the dollar value of the collection has dropped considerably for having opened the bubble packs, but as long as the boxes are kept and the lighters pristine it can help mitigate this drop by a little. Also keeping the supporting documentation, magaziness and the packaging might help a bit. I would also argue that for some people having them all together in this fashion is much more satisfying and enjoyable, plus way easier to store and share with friends, but that is a different topic altogether.
You should have left them in the box. You just destroyed the resale value of that collection. However, as a person who collects Zippos for fun and really does not care about the value of them, I really like that display case.
@@ShadowFoam jack daniels zippos are cool, regular high polish armor zippo is a classic, st. benedict armor zippo, freedom skull, celtic tree of life etc These are more fancier zippos but they are very nice although it does depend what your into
You would have got a lot of views if you just showed each of them individually for 5 seconds 😅.....i know it's not but your thumbnail feels like clickbait
Q. What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo?
A. A hippo is really heavy whereas a zippo is a little lighter.
I'll get my coat
Shouldn't have laughed at that as much as I did 😅
Man, that was gold
lol made me spit milk laughing
Suigui
I collect lighters, but I like them used and with a history. I'm fairly good at repair/restoration
Got a favourite?
The results are amazing..!
Love that collection
Cheers mate! Appreciate that!

never seen a UA-cam channel also in Northwich, and its a zippo video I found it on, thats crazy
Nice, I'm thinking of doing the same but mounting them as a wall display 👍
Would love to see that build mate! Keep me in the loop if you go for it 👍
Great video I've got the tool zippo lighter that I my daily carry😊
Please give me one..I just love this.

The box should have looked like a huge Zippo itself this would have been even more awesome.
Haha good idea! 👍
Does one tray just sit on top of the lighters without any protection to keep them from being scratched up?
The Lighters are sat into the foam on the bottom, so the tray sits on the foam. There's a few mil in it, but it's enough to keep the Lighters safe 👌

So confused but I'm also newly interested in the future of zippo lighters
what got you into them?
@Shadow Foam im a pyro no other details will be mentioned 🤷♂️❤️🔥
if you were to purchase a new zippo (retail) how nit picky would you be about little bumps or defects in the paint/sticker/art?
Completely depends on the zippo in question, why do you ask?
@@ShadowFoam because I just bought several and a few have minor defects. A couple have what looks like little bump on the artwork, another one has what look like very small pits in the artwork.
@@squirts1 Thats just how it is collecting them my g, from a far you wont even notice them
Hey that's why prices went up. You bought all of them.
My mistake Jared 😄

Never say never on that idea 💡 😉
@@ShadowFoam Heavens to mergatroids Batman don't tease me dude!!!🤣
Pelican! Nice one.
Do you own any Zippos?
Was it a joke or did he not know it was a toucan?
@@TheJustin1979 what do you think? 😅
@@ShadowFoam I would hope it was a joke lol.
Very Nice buddy
Cheers Jamie! 👍
You mean Toucan not Pelican right? I like the vlog..
You got me! 😅
Thanks for liking the vlog! Have you subscribed as we might have a very similar project coming up?

How many do you have?
@@ShadowFoam I have 5 Zippos 3 special edition models
1 mate black and an official Harley Davidson model
I have a real 1952 Zippo slim. Not a reproduction, a real one. It belonged to my great grandfather.

Woow amazing. Salute for collection. 👍
Glad you liked it!
never closed the box
Hard to when the collection looks so good!😅

So much for them being collectible now 😞

Got the lot for 200 quid
Great work👍
Cheers Mate, got any zippos yourself?
