Believe it or not different zippos have different measurements. You would need to post the model or year of the zippo which can be found on the bottom of the zippo.
if he or she wants one yes
The letters refer to the month of the year that the lighter was manufactured. A= January, etc.
From July 1986 until 2001, Zippo® stamped a letter (A-L) and a Roman numeral (II-XVI) to represent a batch code for the month and year the lighter was made. The letters were A for January, B for February, etc. The Roman numeral denoted the year, where 1986 was denoted with II (2). A Zippo® made in 1990 would therefore be stamped with VI.
yes they are. infact this year is their 75th year of manufacturing of zippo lighters.
Well, if you're in San Francisco then go to Chinatown There are plenty of places that sell Zippo's, and i got mine $10 CHEAPER than the on line price. Also, plenty of smoke shops sell them as well. If you're underage, then go to Chinatown The guy had no problem selling it to me (a 13 year old, who LOOKS 13). And also, make sure to get Zippo lighter fluid, and not another brand. happy hunting! You won't regret getting the Zippo
The best why to get a zippo collection appraised is go to eBay and look up each of your lighters individually, because there isn't too many zippo "experts" out there. Even if there is, they know more about what year they are and how to fix them then their value
Zippo they all get clubbed to death
C05 and J07 only reference when the lighter was made, not quality. All Zippo lighters are of excellent quality, and have a lifetime guarantee. A=January B=February C=March etc. And the two digits refers to the year of manufacture.
If you take the fore arm off, the year of manf. is stamped on the bottom of the barrel.---OR from the Winchester book on 1894 by "ARTHUR PIRKLE" the year is 1948.
It stands for the month of the year it was manufactured.A for January b for Feb and so on
Unlikely. There is little reason for a ten year old to carry a lighter.
