Zippos & Ronsons

Remember! Nothing beats a Bic!

Just a bunch of cool pics. Enjoy!

Clean them up once in a while and test them, they usually work O.K.

I like the “Clip On” cases, they don’t wobble on the belt and they clip on a pocket real well.

#1 Chrome (Favourite), #2 Scrimshaw (Backup Lighter), #3 Unused (Good for Case forming. haha

Let’s see the Ronsons!

I remember these as a kid but they didn’t last like Zippos did.

Lighter Fluid, gas, aviation jet fuel, work in the Zippos, not sure about the Ronsons.

Get your free flints from old Bics, they might be a bit long but you can cut them and they work!

Learn to adjust and trim the wick, it really helps with the Zippos & the Ronsons both.

Enjoy your old lighters, they’re less commonly carried today than they have been in decades.

Keep some Bics on hand because unless you want to “Service” your Zippos weekly, you’ll need ’em.
