Lets see your lighters

[Charlie Mike]

I usually EDC a Zippo but recently I've been using a Bic for size and ease of use. Thought I'd pull out the cam and take pics of my budding lighter collection.

Brass Zippo from Walmart. Had it engraved with my political opinion. Every time I fire up, it makes me smile. It gets the most carry and it shows.

Zippo with rainbow coating. I engraved this with my logo for my small time "knife shop", Freeman's Tactical Weapons... the FTW reference is a tribute to my friends that are affiliated with a certain motorcycle club.

I picked up this one in Clovis, CA antique shop. It was all crusted with all kinds of built up shit and the action had seized. I completely took it apart and cleaned everything, repacked the packing and bored out the flint tube. I gave this to my old lady for her 21st b-day but since she doesn't smoke anymore, it has been relegated to the coffee table.

I have never been a fan of butane lighters so I will normally be found with one of these in my pocket...

left to right...first two are match safes belonging to my grand-father, Zippo in a sterling engraved case-Viet Nam era, my alma mater - TCU and yes...it plays the TCU fight song, 60's vintage Scripto, Zeppelin, A cheapy Zippo type but one I really like, another of Granddad's match safes, a small solid brass Zippo. I have others but these are the most carried.

Now if I am in a suit (very seldom these days) I will likely be carrying this Ronson gold filled case and lighter.

and last for trip fishing, canoeing, or pool parties I carry one of these, I have "lost" three already this years to friends and family...

I actually own a very nice resin-bodied (non-functional) lighter that contains a genuine Zippo insert. It's a replica of the mystical lighter used by Keanu Reeves in the movie Constantine. I'm in negotiations to obtain a functional brass one.

 

[Absintheur]

I thought the one in the movie was somewhat larger than a Zippo, at least in his hands it appears to be. I thought it was a one off made for the movie perhaps?

 

[Phil Elmore]

It's much larger. It's basically a big prop into which the zippo insert fits. There's a fellow who posts at The Replica Prop Forum who was responsible for putting together the resin replica and then the brass recreation that I hope to buy.

Sorry for the fingerprints on the '41 replica, its the one that did duty today.
The USA one is my most used one, and the Armor case waits to be engraved.
The black/brass one is a fake(got it as a gift, so no harm done to my wallet).

Mark, what's that lighter?

 

[Absintheur]

Looks like one of the freebies that Camel gave away a few years back, I still have 3-4 of them lying around somewhere.

It's an IMCO Triplex lighter, available at Sportsmansguide...
