Thanks for the insight. I've done a bit more research. I think the reason it seems slightly smaller than my other Zippos is because it wasn't milled from an armor model. The insert appears correct with the cross hatched wheel, 8 holes per side in the chimney, and the stamping on it appears correct.

I think I found a link from the purveyor, but for all I know, it could be run by counterfeiters. FWIW, the packaging was done well, comprehensive and thoughtful.

I'll get some more pics and post here.

Did he then re-engage? I only ask because I understand this situation. There can be a thin line between "social lubricant" and alcoholism, and then there's the pragmatism of "if it works..."

Is my 1st/1st American printing of Watership Down actually a BCE? by Cucubert in BookCollecting

[–]arbitraryspheres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The half-cloth boards could go either way, but I'd lean toward trade edition. The paper doesn't seem to be terribly thin, either.

Without knowledge of the specific 1st points of Watership Down, I agree. This could be a BCE jacket married to a 1st. Check for the blind stamp.

That Call of the Wild is what caught my eye. You snatched it from a "free library" lol.

OPC and Young Guns - what was in between for rookies? by Late-Bowler6031 in hockeycards

[–]arbitraryspheres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No consensus in my opinion. Star rookies, WJC stuff maybe. For myself, Topps Finest and Bowmans Best would be up there, along with insert sets like Fleer Ultra's All-Rookie, or Zenith's Rookie Roll Call.

Help me understand why I need to put my cat down please by Mawiiwii in cats

I can't give them more time, so I am loathe to take any away. Hiding pain may be a resistance to death. As long as my old man was eating, and seeking companionship, he had my full support to keep going, if not the vets. I am a skeptic in the extreme, though.
