jmd62 Posted September 17, 2021 Share #167 Posted September 17, 2021 Very cool Cobra 6! As a kid we used to drive down that way and shoot our guns in the woods. Probably not a good idea today? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted September 18, 2021 Share #170 Posted September 18, 2021 Well, he IS a “sailor man” (This is a little different: a Zippo alarm clock in a lighter case, part of Zippo’s never-ending quest to find other uses for its cases.)

Boy Howdy Posted September 19, 2021 Share #171 Posted September 19, 2021 Probably from Thailand. 1960's Zippo insert. May be Silver but not marked. What I found interesting is it is engraved on all 8 sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted September 19, 2021 Share #174 Posted September 19, 2021 De nada, BH. This is not specifically a military lighter more of a ‘survival Zippo’: Kind of a neat dog tag size tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Howdy Posted September 19, 2021 Share #175 Posted September 19, 2021 That tool looks like something Marlboro used to give away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
