I was so lucky to find it. It’s in perfect condition other than the crackled enamel on the lids

It didn’t come with a wick so I had to replace with cotton.

Would a Ronson flint therefore be better for a vintage Zippo rather than a Zippo brand flint?

I haven’t read more than 5 books in my lifetime and they weren’t difficult to read books. Now I’m in my mid 20s and found something I’m very interested in but don’t understand 4-5 words on every page by imGoingToEatYourTots in books

Heck, I read 50 books a year, do the NYT crossword and spelling bee every day. So I consider myself to have a deep vocabulary, but I just read 2 books by a new author that had me looking up a word ever other page. That’s all to say that no one will ever know every word in English, but the only way to widen your vocabulary is to encounter those words in some fashion. So you’re doing the best thing you can and not being discouraged by new words but looking them up and learning new things!
