I think Zippo actually made some of them too. Mine is marked Peterson's.

You guys are great, over the last two days I have read these posts while sweating out three real estate deals, all going in different directions. Wound up laughing at the zippo lighter and the one still in my tackle box and feel much better about my Parkers. Thanks for the therapy!

When I worked for my Uncle Sam, Zippos were the thing. We didn't buy fluid, we hung the insert by a wire in a tank of MOGAS in our truck or jeep. By the way, I am still using my Jon-E warmers.

I don't have my Grandfathers Parker trap gun but I do have his Zippo. I had to send it back for refurbishing (will that hurt the value:rotf:) but they got it back to working order and at no charge. The closest they could come to a mfg date was prior to WWII.

Maybe it was because word got around... "Oh that Grace Romig - better buy it now if you like it because pretty soon you won't be able to afford it."

Had the same thing happen when I tried to sell an RBL Launch Edition that didnt fit me well. Listed it at what I paid for it and it just sat there.
The prior seller saw the listing and e-mailed me with a note to mark it up by $300. With some trepidation I did so, and it sold in a week. Go figure.

Some friends did that on a house. Sat for sale forever. They switched agents, the new agent raised the price and it sold right away. Go figure

As WC Fields said, never give a sucker an even break
