I need to dig mine out of the "cigar drawer" and post up. I have one from the 50's or 60's that my uncle gave me....Nothing fancy, but fairly old

I have a bunch of them in an old cigar box somewhere, I'll have to hunt that down. This is by far my favorite though and my every day carry...



Just a plain copper plated, bout 20yrs old, love the way it's patina'ed.

Well I have to say I love Zippos. One of my Fav's was my Solid Brass pipe Zippo. Already posted what happened with that so won't mention it again. So I did pick up a couple other Zippos to take its place.. However they are not Pipe zippos so I am still in the look of one to replace my old one. Problem is I don't want just any other pipe lighter. I want a Brass one again. Don't want anything on it just like my last one. Only thing on it was a black pipe and stamped Solid Brass..

The first Zippo was one that I got because of the date of it. 1969.. The second one is 1967 (Early) and the other zippo is one that I use right now because of the missing pipe one... It is Brass in color Hard Rock bought it back in 2003 at Dennys from the ladie that was serving my table. At that time I had just lost another zippo. I seen she had one. Didn't care about the Hard Rock I just didn't want to be without my zippo and paid more then I should have but made it worth her to sell it. Can be that way at times lol....

Yeah, I hate the limited selection of pipe Zippos out of the box. I ended up picking up a few plain ones when I saw a great price on them just so I can swap the inserts. They don't sell the inserts separately, but I contacted them and and a very nice woman called me back and told me if I sent it to the repair department they replace the insert by default, and if I include a note that I wanted the pipe insert they would. And still send back the original part. Hmmm.... ;)

Buy a brass Zippo, send it to the Zippo factory and ask them to include a brass pipe insert. Only cost to you will be the shipping to Bradford, PA.
