Wanted - Sisters Zippo

I had one of these years ago, bought from RH when first released. I no longer have it and am gutted beyond words, so if anyone happens to have one they’d be willing to part with, I would give you a very good price 😁

Are you The Merchant from Resident Evil 4?
Can't help you with an official zippo, though if you just want a groovy lighter there's sometimes some knock-off's on ebay. A few years back I bought one off there where the seller engraved your design - I sent him a New Head & Cog logo image and received a superb zippo, it really was the mutt's nuts .... though it immediately got nicked of course. I guess that's the one tiny benefit of not smoking inside pubs anymore, not as much chance of absent-mindedly leaving everything on the table when you go to the bar. Definitely worth a look though if you're happy with a bootleg Sisters Zippo

Alas, I can't help you with the RH Zippo.
But, if you fancy a new Zippo I have a brand new one in brass that I'd be happy to send your way in return for a donation to
these people. Call it $20 or equivalent and I'll throw in the postage.

Anyone putting clothes on cats are braver people than me. That said, a bloke up the road had a Siamese on a lead the other day, don't think I've ever seen any species be giving less of a s**t than it was. Maybe the youtube vids are all fake

Used to be a fella in Leeds, walked around with a cat (on a lead) perched on his shoulder. Cat looked to be unfazed by the whole experience, but it always made my day when I'd see them in the Merrion, doing a little Morrison's shopping.

Awwww
cheers for that Feelgood Image Of The Day
sounds like a very 'Merrion Centre' kind of thing to see, not that I ever did. I do miss the NIMPAWWWWW guy though, selling his Evening Post's
Anyway yes, sorry Dom, Zippos ....

Oh hell, yeah. There it is. And I can't afford it because I gotta pay about that
for "fast" driving (57 km/h instead of the noise-reduction prescribed 30 km/h)
on the main street of the suburb and that's it for the next few months in extra
expenses ...
... *sigh ... at least it didn't cost me my driving license...

Don't know what their mark up would be but surprised they haven't done these again.

get one of these bootleg zippo-a-likes & insert innards from a zippo! hey presto! (all the quality parts of zippodom are inside -the outsides are as easily broken as say a ronson)

Do you know any engravers?
I'd buy a regular black chrome zippo & have someone engrave it for me to be honest. Yeah, it's not the real McCoy but it'd save you a fair bit of cash & still be pretty unique
In fact, IIRC, you can actually get them engraved to order direct from zippo
