Anybody know anything about old llighters?

[wingmaster]

Are any of the old lighters collectable and worth anything? Thanks for any info

Early Zippos are worth watching for. Learn the date code on the bottom of the case. I sold a 1934 zippo on feabay for $600.00 a few yrs ago , it went to a museum in japan, believe it or not. I also sold a ww2 trench lighter for $250.00 that went to a ww2 museum in france. I bought both in a box lot at a local auction for $5.00 , it pays to learn the date codes---good luck and happy holidays

Some of these are table lighters I'm guessing some are from the 30's, 40's maybe, he does have some zippo's though.

Look for marks on the bottom like "occupied Japan" and look for lighters that may interest more than one category collector such as this oldie I have had for years.
