My lucky charm

[JEEP]

Twelve days ago I recieved my Indy clover Zippo from Relic Raider. It is a 1937 vintage model with standard urethane resin badges in satin finish.



It's a beautiful lighter - the finish is very crisp and clean and the inlaid clover itself looks amazing.



I choose the 1937 model because I really like the square flat lid - and because the model is more period accurate. I may order a standard 200 model, for display with my prop-replicas, someday.

I have bought a nice cigarette case to go with the lighter:


Both the lid of the lighter and cigarette case has been engraved with my initials:


That the urethane resin badges indeed are very sturdy was prooved the day after I got the lighter, when my mother accidently dropped the lighter on my parent's paved yard - with a few minor scratches on one corner as the only result. The lighter has been bought with the intent of using it - I am confident that it won't fail me.

All in all I am very happy with my new lighter - it won't be the last time I order something from Relic Raider.

Great idea with the initials Jakob. That adds to the vintage style of it.

That looks really great.

I saw these a while ago and it was something else I added to my list of props I'd like to have.

So you can either buy the badge itself and put it on a blank zippo you buy or you can buy the zippo with the badge on it, correct?

[JEEP]

Thanks guys

Marc: my thoughts indeed

Pitfall: correct - but I would strongly reccomend having RR put on the badge for you. You can also send him a blank zippo for him to fit with badges.

Thanks for the info Jeep.

I think it might be easier for me to just order the whole thing at once.

I have one of the 1937 models also. The initals are a nice touch. I may get that done to mine sometime.

JEEP, that's a great looking lighter! I really like that squared top.
I won an Armored Lucky Lighter at last year's summit and I just love the thing! I really like how the badges give the lighter a nice heft, too!
