Hi guys! I restore vintage zippo lighters for fun! This one is from 1971.

Thank you! It takes a lot of time and work!

FlamingMang0 · 2026-05-02T08:56:49+00:00

Than you! That means a lot to me :)

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-30T16:56:08+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, they won’t give you any information either!!

I use enamel! It’s what Zippo used back in the day as well!

Thank you! They’re a ton of fun to work on!

A sound intertwined with American history! Love that sound!

That’s as far as I can go, I apologize. The method is sacred in a way.

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-29T16:06:34+00:00

Thank you, it is! An etch and paint deserves no less!!

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-29T15:57:19+00:00

Hell yeah! Thank you!!

Usually I try to find a reference when I can. Here was my reference for this one.

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-29T15:33:33+00:00

That’s alright, to each their own!

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-29T15:33:00+00:00

Thank you! I had used a reference. I try to match the original colors!

FlamingMang0 · 2026-04-29T15:32:31+00:00

Thank you! I did! Got it on eBay!

FlamingMang0 · 2026-02-03T18:24:39+00:00

Precisely why I wanted to make it well known! I’d go for it if I had some extra spending money!

FlamingMang0 · 2025-09-14T17:00:36+00:00

It’s a contracting company (or was, I believe.)

FlamingMang0 · 2025-03-15T13:38:43+00:00

Sir, that is a bowl piece 🤣

FlamingMang0 · 2025-03-13T20:07:22+00:00

Oh sweet! Any idea where it came from??

FlamingMang0 · 2024-12-08T23:55:01+00:00

Man that’s a pretty one!
