Hi from Germany,

my name is Andy, and I`m a Jeeper and Jeep-driver for more than 25 years. First CJ, than YJ, and the last three years my red JL. Some years ago I started collecting Zippo lighters with Jeep-themes. Zippos with Jeep-pictures, Zippos with Jeep-logos, Zippos with Jeep-engravings - everything I could get my hands on...

Today I own a little collection with now 32 different lighters, mostly original Zippos.

Now I reached the point that I can`t get more Jeep-Zippos here in Europe. I know there are many more, mostly older Zippos. I`ve seen many pics of Jeep-Zippos that I don`t have in my collection yet. Hunting is going on... :)

Are there any more Jeep Zippo collectors here? Can anybody of you tell me online-shops in US or other links where I can get more of my stuff? ;)
If you own Jeep-Zippos - please show them to us...

Regards from Germany :rock:

Side note, the Zippo museum is in Bradford, PA, same location as the Penn's Wood's Jeep Jamboree. Always a popular stop during the jamboree.

Yeah, I see an H2 in there.

Still, a very cool collection.

TheoYJ, I think you have now started a trend here - Googling "Jeep Zippos" now.
Absolutely, love seeing cool Zippos, especially the older ones!

I see an imposter in your collection...
Yes, I know. But I bought all these 4 brass lighters for only 18 bucks each. And the same H2 lighter has been sold in ebay for 90 Dollars... - so I think I didn't made a mistake... ;)

Here are some examples what I' m still looking for...

Nice collection Andy. Zippos have some unique hash marks or Roman numerals on the bottom if I remember correctly to show the date of issue. Any unique date or stamping you can show us?

NO, DON'T DO THAT!! I didn't want YOU to start collecting. If you all begin to collect Jeep-Zippos, I don't have any chance to get some more.... :LOL:

Hey, number nine in the pictures is very cool - topless Zippo.

Naw, I'm not going to snake your treasure hunt. Will let you know if something cool is found, though.

Very cool collection!
I have a zippo from when I was deployed on the USS New Orleans - LPH-ll. It looks similar to the one on your top row, 2nd from the right. Only paid $10 for it in the ship store but it's one of my favorite keepsakes from my time in the Marine Corps. I actually teared up when I learned they used her as a target and sank her...

Cool movie trivia - In the movie Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks they used the New Orleans instead of the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2 I believe).

USS New Orleans (LPH-11) - Wikipedia
