Every Zippo has marks for dating purposes on the bottom of the case.

Also at the bottom of the dating page is a link to the main page that has an amazing amount of info.

My wife isn't into sharing.
I'll also have you know I would never allow either of my daughters to date a Zippo.
That being said, thanks for the link. It was interesting to check on the Zippo I bought circa 2001

I dated a Zippo once, but there just wasn't any spark.

When I met the redhead I would marry, the sparks flew... 8)

I bought this lighter on ebay about a year ago because it had a pipe insert, but I never wondered about its age. I thought the "BOGUS '76" engraving was kind of funny, but now that I checked at the site above on its date stamping, the engraving makes more sense as it seems to be made in 1975! Have no idea if that's why it's engraved that way, but it works great, and that's good enough for me!

Cool, I'm glad you figured that code out Orley.

Does anyone use an older Zippo?
I have a '14, '03, '91, '86, '85, '81, '70, '63, and two birth year '53's.

my oldest goes back to 1988. Not old to me .. but for you young whipper snappers. a Brass pipe lighter from John B Hayes Tobacconist.
