if you say your a business are you able to get free cases. i thought about building one out of plexi glass like the more famouse ones but custom cut plexi is expensive

when i order for the first time zippo's i got the display for free this one i got becouse i collect and the salesmen had it in his garage for years and he wanted to do me a favor so i got lucky with the vintage display but the new display cases you get only when you order a big amount of zippo's if i would order one extra it would cost me mony also

I've got a display, I'm currently restoring. The pix tell it all but one part. i tried to repaint it myself but it came out looking like crap, so i took it to get powder coated. It looks great. now i have to find the colored film, to replace. If anyone knows where to get that stuff please let me know. www.spanishflea.com/Zippo%20Lava.htmlThe research i've done on it. I think it's Mylar, The gold ring is gold colored on both sides. The purple stuff is, purple on one side gold on the other. Any help would be great. Spanish Flea
