Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
It's so sad that they have to destroy a functioning lighter to make a video restoring it to the condition it was in before they aged it with chemicals.
I have nearly 500 Zippos that I have bought from a variety of places and have only encountered one that even looked like this.
EDIT: Just looked at 5:17 and 15:58 and it's not even a real Zippo. The insert is hand engraved, and unless Zippo forgot to add punctuation to their bottom stamps and moved things around, the bottom isn't correct.
Good Video
That was a fascinating and relaxing watch.
Beautiful video, thanks ๐๐ป
What's the set of punches at 4:20 called? I work on other vintage lighters and have wanted something like that for rivet removal, but I have no idea what to search for.
