Is the hinge broken? It's a little wobbly, but still hanging on.

I have a Snap On one that was given as a retirement gift to my grandfather. Nicely engraved on the side, it's far too precious to me to be taken out of the house.
May have to pm Vidal though...
Oh, and zippo do a pretty decent looking keyring that holds a couple of refills worth of fuel, spare flints etc. Solves the issues correctly identified with practical use of Zippos.

Disastrous said: My lucky, faithful old friend zippo was last seen in the hands of a Munich airport security woman  You were unlucky I went through Munich with my fully charged zippo, and was told that I couldn't travel with it. I explained that it was an important gift from Mr 13th (from Munich Hard Rock) and I think the security woman didn't want a blubbing woman on her hands so let me pass with it once she'd emptied it. I would post a photo of it in the cabinet it's kept in but it would disturb the dust that's nicely settled in there  Edited as I was laughing at the memory when posting

I've got one of those. Very useful, although from time to time I do forget to fill the bloody thing so in a way it is just like I have transferred the potential for inconvenience over to something else. Feel like Bear Grylls' more prepared uncle when I need fluid and realise I have it on me though.

I've also got this one which, according to the inscription on the back, was presented to my grandfather by a US Navy Vice Admiral who was COMSUBLANT at the time.  Never use it but huge sentimental value...

I just typed Marlboro Zippo into Ebay. What an incredibly bad idea that was.
I love the Navy one^^ Is the base a part of it or is it like a detachable stand?
