I COLLECT ZIPPO LIGHTERS AND HAVE A SMALL COLLECTION OF COAST GUARD ZIPPOS THAT I AM PARTICULARLY FOND OF. A COUPLE FRIENDS OF MINE SERVED IN THE USCG, BUT I DIDN'T COLLECT THEM BACK IN THE OLDEN DAYS, SO I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SEEING IF THEY COULD HELP ME OUT WITH MY ADDICTION. BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTACTS WITH ANYBODY IN THE USCG. I'M WONDERING IF IF THERE ARE ANY ZIPPO COLLECTORS HERE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT. I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE NEW OR USED OR WHAT CONDITION THEY ARE IN EITHER
THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR IDEAS-MOON |

Moon, That is a really cool Zippo in the picture. Very nice! I'm sorry to say I don't have any to help you out but... try the normal spots, ebay, craigslist, even yahoo auctions might pop something up! I have seen them on the web but I've never really given it much thought. I'm sure you would have some successes just cruising those sorts of things. Please, post pictures of any others you might come across! :) Happy Hunting! Macie

I still have my Gallatin one, but we'd have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Oh Fun thing to collect! So While we are on the subject do they have patches you can collect in the CG? I"m looking to get some for my daughters Girl Scout troop.. wouldn't that be cool! Or at least one for Nicole when she goes to graduation of her brother!
