What's the roman numeral stamp level on the bottom of the casing-liner? As it's an indicator of quality and thusly longevityJust bought a Dallas Cowboy Zippo. Woot!!!
Not Roman numeral. Newer model. Roman numerals are before 2000What's the roman numeral stamp level on the bottom of the casing-liner? As it's an indicator of quality and thusly longevity

Thanks, I'm sure, the more I drink, the more odd it'll feel.Must feel odd. Drink up, coach, and enjoy!
Then I reckon I've had mine in excess 20 years, the hinge pin went south a long time ago and I've been using a T-10 staple straightened out and cut down to 3/4 length and pretty sure I've scavenged the flint tensioner spring assembly from a couple of lesser zippos along the way,it's brass and the scrolled filigree is worn, I'm having problems finding fresh lighter fluid to,,the smoke shop I've been getting it at is in the big zippo metal cans and it's pretty stale and flat,,, after 9-11 it was kinda hit or miss in even finding lighter fluid for sale for awhile ( it seemed odd enough for me to recall and tell you about it anywayNot Roman numeral. Newer model. Roman numerals are before 2000
I have G (for July) and 12 on the casing, and H (for August), 12 on the insert.
I know the cons, my dear brother. I have bought a few Zippos in my life, but this one I bought from an authorized dealer and features a cross check with the company,
Lots of fakes, tho, for sure

When I was a kid(10 or 12) I'd fill whatever flint type lighter I would scavenge/ pilferage from the work shop desk drawers,work truck glove boxes such
various sundry items like lighters ,pocket knifes, bullets and dirty magazines tended to propagate,,, ya, I'd fill the lighters up with leaded gasoline, it would evaporate faster than normal cuz' I'd be playing with the worn out sprung crap the guys were replacing,,, and that gas would light yer bag up when it leaked in your pants front pocket
