hey flea wats your favorite zippo?? Was waiting a bit to post in here because I didn't have a pix of my Fav zippo. Well i got one now. It's my very first zippo. Case: 1974 Insert: '67-'68 Markings: Zippo flame, w/ "the little persuader... by ZIPPO" And from what i understand about this zippo, it was a salesman sample that he would carry. Few were made. For those who have known me for awhile, this is the zippo I found in the Police inpound yard. I think I was about 17 or 18.  And i guess Zippo had a soft spot for this guy, because in '97 they made 50 more to comemerate the saying. These fifty were numbered, I have #18/50.    Enjoy, Spanish Flea |

That's pretty schweet Flea. I can't make up my mind on my favorite. It keeps changing. I really like my circa 1958 Roseart marble table lighter, but I can't carry that around! I'll think about it and get back to you. I'm sure you'll all be anxiously anticipating...LMAO  |

i thought you were ignoring me but that is a very nice zippo. was it in good shape when you found it? and the zippo from 97 has to be another collectors item. have you tried to find another from the 50?
