I don't keep my Zippo collection at home, so there are times when this is the only way I can get to see them. Many of them have been used by me over the years, while others are un struck. It was only after I got round to doing this page update and the images I needed that I realised how much they all need a good cleaning. The case image below has been 'hot spotted'. Clicking on various drawers and areas of the image should hopefully show the contents of the selected drawer or a bigger image of the relevant lighter. Every time I look at this section, I think about deleting it altogether. Especially as I doubt this forms an important part of anybody's visit to the site. It's a good enough way to show my collection, although I have to admit that the finer detail is lost doing things this way, a problem made worse by some of the lighters being bagged up.
Click on any part of the image to open up a better picture. The Display is actually 3 separate sections, 10 drawers, 9 Table lighter slots (only 8 lighters though), and a further 8 drawers.

Those who know me personally and want to see more can go Here. The page is not looked after in the same way as this site, I merely add a few as and when time and access to them permits. The information is typed in ad hoc and not checked or verified for any errors or omisions in data, It is merely a quick way to keep things up to date.
Some of the drawers ended up out of order during the photo shoot, in an attempt to keep the visual links as near to accurate as possible, you will find that selecting drawer 9 will actually open an image named Drawer 8, this happened 4 or 5 times, I left them named as they are to try to keep the index image in order.
