I got a Zippo in Kosovo when I deployed there in 2001. It had a NATO Mine sign on it. Being a Combat Engineer I thought it fitting. I still have it somewhere!

Zippo Museum & Factory

http://www.zippo.com/repairs/index.aspx?bhcp=1

The Zippo Museum in Bradford PA is open 7 days a week. Lots of GI contributions from past wars & past service, many with unique stories of survival as related to ownership of Zippo's. They sell Zippos and Case knives on location and also do custom engraving.

Part of the museum backs up to the production and repair area and during the week you can watch Zippos being made.

If you travel 20 minutes north to Salamanca, NY and go to the antiques mall you can find many out of production, limited edition and used historical Zippos at bargain prices. $5-$15 depending upon condition and vintage.

My family sent me a brand new Zippo, with the Marine EGA on it, engraved with my name.
Some S.O.B. stole it from the company area tents while I was at the shower.
Never saw it again.

Saw Zippos in Vietnam. Impressive tool.



This is what's needed to control the scratxchbacks sneaking across the border...and the "Occupy" maggots.
