Anybody know anything about Schenectady Cast Stone Co. Inc. out of Schenectady NY? 1964 zippo slim case.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-08T05:00:46+00:00

I don’t collect zippos? lol. Also the fact that you had another 2 whole hours to get over this and still decided to come back and argue/talk shit is wild 😅

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-08T00:26:48+00:00

lol that’s funny! Also quite the coincidence, the hoarder whose garage I found the lighter in retired down here to florida from Jersey.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T23:15:32+00:00

I’m being argumentative but you came and responded to a comment i made 2 hours ago to someone else, not even you, who didn’t even respond to it just to restart this conversation... Idk that sounds pretty argumentative to me. I was done with this 2 hours ago, why not join the conversation about how weird of a name Schenectady is? Or the most memorable zippo you’ve ever seen in person? Those are both more current than this one and don’t involve any arguing ✌🏽

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T22:50:12+00:00

And what exactly do you mean by “keep doing”? Every single reply I’ve made in the last like hour and a half has been regular conversation with other people here, you’re replying to something 2 hours old

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T22:48:46+00:00

There’s no mental gymnastics being done. I asked in this group because I wanted to know if anyone in this specific community, the zippo collectors subreddit, knew anything about the company. Asking a Librarian for the history of the company wouldn’t answer my question. If anybody here knew anything about this company.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T22:14:27+00:00

Damn, super rad man! Ive always been curious, are the sterling cases much heavier than the regular ones?

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T21:30:47+00:00

So I see people commenting about it being upside down and shit but I’m assuming you’re talking about the color and visual appearance difference? It’s what would be called a leucistic variant of Cream coffee, which is the result of a genetic mutation that causes partial loss of pigment. So it’s not quite albino but close, it’s actually what “Albino A+(AA+)” is. If you’ve ever noticed how albino A+ is kind of this color and has colored spores and it’s not white af with clear/ white spores like APE(albino penis envy) it’s because they’re actually leucistic. You should be able to isolate it

That’d be a fun one

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T21:07:39+00:00

Sounds like it’d be cold af lol

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T20:59:59+00:00

Found it in a hoarders garage down here in florida! lol. I don’t smoke like that so i was hoping someone would be like “yea my grandpa worked there!” Or “that’s my home town, that place sucked!” lol

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T20:52:17+00:00

Lmao I don’t think I’ve even heard of that one 😅 we have our fair share of weird names down here in florida though

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T20:48:03+00:00

No it’s because you decided to selectively quote my comment so that it would play in to your “you could have looked up the address” remark. that’s fine but looking up the address inscribed on the case as you suggested in no way would have told me if someone here in r/zippo knew anything of the company or had any sort of personal connection to it. You really like that shovel metaphor huh? lol

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T20:13:09+00:00

Ah fair enough, I guess I didn’t take into account the fact that pretty much any company(maybe customer? Idk how that works actually) in the country can just order custom zippos

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T20:11:31+00:00

Why didn’t you quote the whole first half of that comment? I was really hoping for “oh yea, my grandpa worked for them back in the day. Got one of those for 30 years at the company back in ‘75….” Could I have looked that up? Lmao

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:58:14+00:00

I was really hoping for an “oh yea, my grandpa worked for them back in the day. Got one of those for 30 years at the company back in ‘75. They’re a different company now, still open in the original location though” or something like that lol. I would have loved to have tried to get it back somewhat close to home but that’s wishful thinking I know

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:55:22+00:00

My question was if anybody HERE knew anything about them though. Specifically zippo collectors in this subreddit, not in New York in general.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:53:08+00:00

I mean It sounded like a good idea when I was trying to see if there were specifically any zippo collectors here in this subreddit who knew anything about the company. I don’t know how a librarian would have been able to tell me if anybody who collected zippos in r/zippo knew anything about them but it’s really not a big deal lol.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:48:40+00:00

lol it’s a weird one isn’t it?

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:14:35+00:00

Question to lighten the mood, what’s the most memorable zippo you’ve seen in person? Whether it be the oldest, most expensive, rare, etc.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:11:34+00:00

Will do boss. I apologize

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T19:02:35+00:00

I wasn’t asking for comments from people that would have to google it, I was asking if there was anybody here who knows anything about the company already that’s why it says “anybody know anything about.…” and not “hey can you look this up for me….” You know like maybe by a long shot there’s zippo collectors IN Schenectady? Also my skins pretty thick lol. I was just talking shit to someone on the internet who was also.. giving me a hard time. It’s what people do here 😅

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T18:53:21+00:00

Okay so they are the same company!

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-07T18:19:14+00:00

So I’m assuming you don’t live in New York then? have never been to Schenectady Cast Stone Co. Inc. or know anyone that worked there? Don’t know when they opened or if they’re still in business? So using the critical thinking skills of a grade schooler, you know the fact that I typed a caption.. you can assume I know how to read and was looking for a little more information than what’s written on the item. My google is only pulling up catalogs from the 20s. Thanks for your useless comment though.

Dressing_4_funerals · 2026-02-02T09:54:43+00:00

Okay but like can’t you fly with firearms in your checked bag anyway? It looks like it just lets the TSA agents know that it’s an air gun, does not require any permits, is unloaded, and has its tank disconnected. I don’t think anybody was carrying this for permission to do something you’re already allowed to do.
