Do you have a Zippo? Top 10 MUST have Zippos.

- There have been over 600 million Zippos produced. Can we narrow it down to 10 Must have Zippos?
This video is my opinion several ideas collectors can have when building collections or just having in their collection. Now, like me I have my own themes I focus on but I do think there are some Zippos out there where you just need 1 of.
This is list is also attempting to keep "Must Have Zippos" affordable and obtainable. Collecting should be fun with any budget or interest. With intent, I left out the more seasoned collectibles such as Town and Country, Moon Landing, rare or expensive "Holy Grail" Zippos ect.
I reached out to about 25 collectors and surprisingly there was alot of consistency on what collectors should have in their collection. (Thank you to those friends)
What are your top 5 must have Zippos?
Did I miss any good ideas? Let me know in the comments.

Hey Everyone,
My name is JRO Lights and I have been collecting Zippos for over 10 years. My collecting themes include: limited editions, Collectibles of the years, and any unique/ special designs.
I am not a film expert or editor, however I have a passion for Zippos and I hope to bring a variety and diverse range of Zippo information.
My mission is to bring knowledge to both new collectors and more seasoned collectors, and also bring more knowledge to myself.
Feel free to email me at jrolights@gmail.com for questions, suggestions or anything else.

What are your MUST have Zippos??? Let me know in the comments!
hey do you know of any zippo that is grippy? I have clammy hands on certain days and would appreciate something that isnt so polished and slick.
What impresses me about Zippo is how simple and how durable it is. For this reason, it is enough to own one and enjoy its use over the years. Scratches and wear accumulate, while I change the flint and wicks, fill it with gasoline, and I'm happy. A Zippo for life that I love.
I don't follow a certain theme. I just buy whatever I happen to fancy.
Sometimes that’s the best way to do it!
Same here , hi from the UK
Yeah I have One Zippo
Es la piedra fundamental tener uno, en mi caso tengo uno también, es un Armor plateado cepillado, ahora quiero un dorado tallado con algún dibujo, carcasa Armor también, y también me gustan los Zorro chinos. Uno en rose.gold también podria ser, algún tallado con calaveras o la bandera de EEUU
Great stuff, thanks.
Such a pleasure to spark up the old lighter flame 🔥
Great job Jon
Thanks again for the content
A birthday zippo, what a cool idea! With the month code confirming your lighter was produced the same month and year as it's user; I seriously love that! I'm definitely adding it to my zippo radar. It will have to match my personality a bit as well!
Nope. Still familiarizing myself with Zippo date codes. Only '86 and newer Zippos have the month code. I was born too soon to get in on that action! With prior Zippos only marked by year codes, I suppose that will make the hunt a bit too easy. I'll need to just find the One from 83 that matches my personality to a tee!
Absolutely!
Yeah anything pre 1986 you just gotta settle for the year, but I know some collectors who are a bit other, their main theme is their birth year. The only zippos they collect are that year.
Pretty cool!
Over 600 million! That is amazing. 👍🏻
Excellent segment Jon!
Thanks Jack and I appreciate your participation for this video! 😄
Great video!
Thanks Chuck!
Just started collecting Zippo's. I'll have to get my hands on many more. I have a Jack Daniel's no. 7 from 1992 (I think), so that will be my holy grail for now. I really enjoyed your Video, great collection!
Welcome to collecting! Best advice is to find your themes and stick with them! Good luck and have fun 😁
I have a couple, my favorite is my black crackle Raven Rock Mountain Complex though. Not really something you can just get anywhere…
love the copper
Good breakdown of most of the major types. Might I suggest maybe getting at least one vintage advertisement lighter from the 50's or 60's. They can be had for relatively cheap for well worn but still perfect good ones (Down to about $20 for good worn copies) and are often a little bit of a "Time capsule" if you can get one with some old school logo or design from years past. Vintage advert lighters represent about 80% of my collection and it can be an interesting challenge to research and dig up facts about a company or design from years past, even if they've been defunct for decades.
Good points!
Thanks for watching.
I’m not big on collecting the vintage, but yes it’s always great to have some in your collection.
Thanks for commenting!
the varga girl lighters ! or the cig sale lady models!
Well done! A good summary!! I have most of those you listed. I don't have the table top lighters. They never really appealed to me. And I don't have a Canadian zippo. I would like one though!. Great way to advertise yourself!! Thank you for making my list almost complete.
Thank you 😁😁
In 10 years of collecting I only have 1, so I’m sure you’ll get one soon! 😁
I definitely need a vintage look in my collection. Not super into boxes, but I get the appeal. I still need a 540 as well! Too many Zippos! haha
Hey Kismit! A year ago 540 designs were limited, but now you go so many to choose from!
Another first class instructive video Jon. You kept it in the right price range as well for newer collectors. Love the 10th Zippo you recommend as well! Keep them going mate!!
Thanks pond pal! 😁 had to throw in that #10 one in there 😁
My gramps was a pipe smoker. He always smoked cherry flavor tobacco. After he passed i carried his zippo around with me everyday for years. I don't know if I still have that lighter but I still have his pipes.
I have found a few zippo lighters at the swap meet near me. Bought a table lighter for 5 dollars and another one for 2 dollars. I don't think the seller knew what he had.
Happy hunting
Excellent video Jon.
Hope you were able to understand it!
@@JRO_Lights It was definitely challenging but I made it through.
Great video. Definately some good advice for the new collector. I have one of each category you list except intead of a 1933 replica I have a 1932. One of my favorites in my collection is my Lady Bradford table lighter. Also like how you have your channel lighter as #10, just awesome. Glad I have one of those too😁✌
I would said technically a 1932 replica is a 1933 replica. They didn’t sell Zippo to the public until 1933.
Lady Barbara are cool, I’m looking for the 65th anniversary one next. 😁
Thanks for the support 😊
I agree about the 32/33 replicas. The one I have is marked as a 32 replica. Need to get a 33 replica and a second release 32 replica yet. All in due time...
I used to have one of the 1932 replicas as well. I had to look it up and the story I found (may have just been a made up myth) was that they put out the ‘32 replicas and an employee pointed out that while founded in ‘32, the first model was not sold until ‘33. That’s why there aren’t many ‘32 replicas out there. They killed the run.
@josh8494 I've not heard that one. Makes sense though. I've read that very few were made late 1932 and actual production didn't start until 1933. The 1933 replicas are expensive compared the the 1932 replicas though. Part of why I do not have one yet.
Every collector needs at least one 540, and one Spectrum
Yes I was thinking about throwing a everyone needs a Peaks and Valley lol
Can you tell me anything about the 75 anniversary 1932-2003 lighter. Love your collection
I would love a Niagra Falls Zippo. I visited there in 1991 and remember the giant neon zippo ad.
My collection is all slims.
Definitely get a niagra slim zippo. I made a video on it , be sure to see that
Yeah that would be a good one to have!Will do, I’ll check it out!! 😁😁
Thanks man
I had a gold zippo with a buhda on the front i loved that thing carried it for like 3 months then i lost it
I think I recognize the Canadian Zippo
That is a beautiful JG special one of a kind 😊😊😊
Go Rebels!
I think you should get every form factor at least. Like 32/35/37/41 replicas, bottomz up, slim and armor, then different metals like solid brass and solid copper. That's pretty much top 10
Since 1932 zippo for the light of your life!!!!! 💪💪👍👍🙏🙏
hi i have fund a 58 slim mint in dennison box.. Any Good??
03:50 What Replica is it exactly? Love the picture on it...
I didn't know my daily use 2000 niagara falls zippo was rare untill just now. How much would it be worth aprox?
I didnt even know they had 1933 replicas thats awsome. I have a 1935
Any advice on finding a steel Zippo? I know they where steel during WW2 and apparently also Korea. While a war lighter would be cool I would like a non war steel to actually use
Those are the only 2 time period steel Zippos. (42-45) (51-53)
The 51-53 Steel Zippo would be the best/ easiest to find. (Hard to find in good condition) that time period was sold to the public, where the WW2 time periods were not.
If you want a Steel EDC my recommendation would be the VJ/VE Day commemorative Zippo.
are there big zippo's,like in "constantine"?
I enjoy collecting zippos with the zippo logo, and some vintage ones. One of my last zippos that i got, was a birthday zippo with the logo on lit :). i have a solid brass with a different stamp on it, 1932 zippo 1991 i can only find that it is a commemorative version, do you know more about these commemoratives versions of the solid brass?
Many solid brass between 1991-1993 had commemorative stamps, not sure why the odd number years, but they are out there
@@JRO_Lights thanks 👍
The 1st one be the: Mk XIV royal navy 135 Spitfire Zippo.
For me personally, the 1941 replica is one of the best lighters money can buy.
I need a 540
if i were collecting lighters i wouldn’t have any replicas in my collection but that’s just my opinion though
Hey Jon. What sort of price are you asking for your JRO lighter. Seeing a few people in the various groups posting them. I'm one of the Scottish lot
I think we got that sorted out. 😊 Thank you!
@@JRO_Lights yip all sorted, thanks to all involved
Town and Country Knob Lake
Hey.
I jave just bought a Zippo 'Klipsch', new on the box, for 25€.
My question is, how many did Zippo made ? I can't find the info on Klipsch web site.
Ps: i also bought a 1933 replica, PAT. 2032695, E ZIPPO VIII, for 20€. Was it a good deal ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers from Portugal.🇵🇹🌊
Thanks for the comment!
Zippo does not release production numbers for Zippos produced (unless numbered of course.)
However, if a company orders Zippos with their brand on it, you could contact the company to see how many they ordered.
The replica, that sounds like a fair price.
Hope this helps!
@@JRO_Lights
Oh, thank for the fast reply.
I will ask Klipsch then.
Ps: I have just watched a UA-cam Zippo lover saying that canadian Zippo Jack Daniels logo with Niagara Falls inscription on its base worth 300 or 400 can dollars...could you confirm ? The guy own one, and said he just can't find more of these.
@@rmabgoi I would have to see the design but surprisingly Niagra falls zippos don’t increase the value astronomically like that.
You can find vintage Niagra falls under $100 depending on the design. There’s a good bit going between $30-$50.
So without seeing the Zippo $300-$400 seems to be a huge reach.
the jack daniels no.7 lighters in brass
Ooo Jack Daniels man are you? There’s a big collector market for that lol
table zippo meron ako
honorable mention: zippo slim
Zippo Rolling Stones?
Saya sangat menyukai zippo hingga saya mencari zippo untuk koleksi sampai akhirnya saya menemukan zippo dengan kode pembuatan sesuai tahun kelahiran saya,dan saya berhenti untuk membeli zippo secara acak😅

Insult to the zippo community
1941👍
Огонь! Слава Україні. ❤1
No to the gay Zippo
how much was that giant zippo?
The big one in the beginning? That’s just a novelty lighter (not a real zippo)
Find these online or in novelty stores for $15 usually.
