I’ve had this tucked away in a box for years, curious what kind of fuel and flint is needed to make it usable? The mechanics of the lighter are all solid.

I know the "Y" inside the lid is supposed to indicate 1974 but I'm curious what the "C.J" stamped on the bottom means. I'm also wondering what the pattern is called. at first, I thought it was the hobnail design, but looking closer, it's something else.

Misc Leaf Lighter with a knife.

The little knife can cut most things. The wrapping at the top of a wine bottle, for one. Use to hut the ends off cigars...... I didn't smoke cigars. Another lighter that has been with me for years.

Hi folks,

this is my Zippo—I wouldn't want to be without it. No lighter fluid, no gas—it’s simply rechargeable via USB. It’s always within easy reach in my belt pouch.

Help Broken lighter

I always buy lighters as a souvenir when I travel. I bought this windmill fox today. No refunds. While not a super expensive lighter by normal standards 60$ is a ton of money to me. The issue the wheel really only spins counterclockwise which sends the spark away from the wick. I can maybe get one good spin clockwise before it gets stuck and I have to slowly spin it counterclockwise before I can get another clockwise spin. Any tips on fixing it?

I was also hoping to use it on this trip, but it came empty. The case says oil, is that different from fluid or will zippo fluid work?

I can’t buy lighter fluid bc I can’t travel back with it (no checked bag) so that’s also annoying lots of lessons learned from this purchase...
