boyt44 Posted January 8, 2012 Share #28 Posted January 8, 2012 Not a Zippo, but one my Dad carried in WW2. He must have done the B17 punched into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPage Posted July 6, 2012 Share #31 Posted July 6, 2012 A rare, authentic collection of 282 Vietnam era Zippo lighters went on the auction block June 21st at Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati. The collection belongs to artist Bradford Edwards, whose collection was showcased in the book Vietnam Zippos: American Soldiers’ Engravings and Stories 1965-1973 (Sherry Buchanan, University of Chicago Press, 2010). Some of you may remember the collection, which received media attention by the New York Times, NPR, and others. The lighter collection had a starting price of $30,000 to $50,000 and was included in the book. Considering the years of search Mr. Bradford spent in Vietnam sourcing and assembling the collection, the starting price seems realistic.

Catfishcraig Posted May 31 Share #34 Posted May 31 Adding to this old topic. Does anyone know what other manufacturers made a similar lighter to the Zippo “Black Crackle”? I’ve seen Park Sherman, Century, Zephyr, Berkeley, and Jan. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAZOO Posted September 25 Share #39 Posted September 25 I forgot to include the supporting photos But from the best of my research this all looks to fit, 1968 date code, the insert I do believe to be period as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
