At one time I had a collection of over 50 Zippos from Naval and Coast Guard Ships around the world. It's amazing how their appeal spans the globe.

They do make some very good trade bait.

I thought you knew. Yep, Turkey, Greece, Spain, France, Israel, Slovakia, Austria, Hong Kong, Japan, Bali, Australia, Korea, Singapore, Kuwait, Djibouti, Bahrain, Qatar, and one brief stopover in Germany. Any one with a Zippo lighter could really sweeten the deal if they whipped it out at the right time.

I use the Zippo brass Armour lighter.
It's case is 1 1/2 times as thick as the regular lighters and seems to fit tighter.
Depending on how much I use it it usually lasts about two weeks between fillup's.
