Yesterday I picked up this beautiful Candy Apple Red Zippo (21063) from the local Smoke & Gift store.

No I do not smoke... I just like Zippos.

So I took some pics and since I hadn't updated in a while posted them to deviantArt.

I found it interesting that while the date stamp on the bottom of the case read May, 2006,
the date on the insert read June, 2006....

From what I could find out it is apparently very common for the case and insert to be off a few months.

Anyone else here own a Zippo?

Cool, you just have the one?

I plan on getting a few more...

For my next one I'm now searching the city for the Sapphire Dragonfly (21041).

So, green Apple eh?
Matte finish? Shiny finish?
... Or you can just put the item number up and I can search and see what it looks like myself.

Don't smoke and don't collect lighters. Besides, they are harder to use than bics for lighting candles

Ah, Lemon Lime Matte... A friend of mine has that one too. Though his is the one with the Zippo logo (21122ZL).

Changing the colour of the flame? I'm not sure that's possible... Unless you put one of those butane inserts into your Zippo case and get a nice blue jet flame... But then it wouldn't be a Zippo would it.

I meant adding chemicals into the zippo fuel like, copper II because its blue, it'll burn faint blue flame etc, here have a link:
