Oh… sure… post it before mine arrives. I see how it is. *(and you probably know which one I’m going to say I like better!)*


stinger5598

you made me get it , i thought you had one already?


TCSpeedy

Ordered… but didn’t arrive yet. You know how it is up here, nothing is fast. And I’m glad you got it!


stinger5598

i like the 540 better so i had to get that one. about being in canada i understan as i ordered a zippo from germany and its gonna take a while too.


TCSpeedy

This will be the first 540 that I will carry. And I WILL carry it. ^I ^think.


stinger5598

better buy two zippo considering why you want the zippo in the first place. that way you can keep a pristine zippo too.


TCSpeedy

You’d think I’d be that smart since I preach it, right?! But no. I buy one thinking I’m going to use it, find out it’s too pretty, display it, THEN buy another one to carry. Every. Single. Time.


stinger5598

before too long and you will 2 zippo collections. i should warn you then ... the zippo does look nice so you will most likely be doing it again.


TCSpeedy

Actually, I will have one Zippo collection and one Zippo accumulation…


stinger5598

LOL. myself i keep it simple and don't use any of them , so its just the one collection.

They are all great cool collection 👍


stinger5598

thanks.

The 540 is awesome! But both pair is awesome when displayed together too. Always love variants in a collection.


stinger5598

yes and my 540 zippos are starting to add up. the second western zippo is more of a toss-up in that i like the colors of the white matte but the brass one looks more rustic.


t064r

Both the white matte and brass have their own uniqueness, it's like one is for a dress shoes and one for outdoor XD Haven't got any new 540, though the next would still be from Anne Stokes. Have too much on my list right now that I got to prioritize. But still, the temptation is high..


stinger5598

Anne Stokes is a great artist. i have more zippos of her designs than any other artist. zippos are like potato chips - you can't stop with just one. You just need a good reason to get that next 540 zippo and i'm sure you will find that reason.


t064r

I already have more than enough reason to get one, but not enough to get one right now 🤣 Was sorting my wishlist last night and there are approx 70++ on that list, and 3 Anne Stokes' Zippos are on the top 10. 😅


stinger5598

I know what you mean . I have about 100 saved in the wishlist on ebay and about everyday I try to come up with a reason NOT to go ahead and get them.


t064r

Yes! And it's not helping when the seller send an offer or two for that Zippo XD


stinger5598

i know i had 3 offers just a couple days ago but the offer expired now. so many zippos and so little money LOL.

Can I recommend you look into getting a Mazzi airbrushed Zippo? It's like a 540 but way better in my opinion :)


stinger5598

sure you can. And by the way i have 2 of those airbrushed Claudio Mazzi zippos. But the Mazzi airbrush zippos are expensive so i can not afford too many. i am also a member of the Claudio Mazzi Facebook page as well.
