Thanks! Got my eyes on an arabesque Zippo and Maruman now.?Nice collection!
Very nice. I don't have a huge collection but I find them interesting also.With an interest in acquiring pipes waning, my attention has been drawn to my lighters. I only have a few, but the new arabesque IM Corona may be the start of a set of display pieces.

I buy the 50 pack once per year for $48.?Saw a 5 pack of assorted color bics recently. ?
I have my daily brushed nickel zippo, but I look for them at garage sales and thrift stores. Only ones that mean something to me usually. Scored an unopened brass zippo two days ago with the sticker still on it, for two bucks at a garage sale!My Zippo and Beattie are my most used.?
Same. The one I use is one I gave to my dad when I was a kid for his birthday but with the insert replaced with a pipe lighter.Only ones that mean something to me usually.

That's true. They do have great tactile appeal.It’s not just the looking, it’s the fondling too.
That's the one.?I believe it’s Arabesque Silver?
Great, thanks! I might add it to my Christmas list, if I can wait that long ?That's the one.?
Been using the Bic flints in my Zippo's for years now, I cut them in half with pliers as the Bic flints are usually twice the size of Zippo flints.Hey didi, have you tried using the flints from old bics in your zippo? Curious to know if they actually work. I’ve recently gone zippo exclusive. I use a brushed brass/gold coloured one that brobs gave me. It has the pipe insert and a Guinness logo etched on the front. I also have a silver one with an etched pic of Ho Chi Minh on the front, I picked this up as a kid when I went to Vietnam
