SabMag Zippo®

You've got the patches, the decals, the T-shirts and sweatshirts, but do you have your SabMag Zippo®?

Why a lighter, you ask (since, like me, you may not smoke)?

  1. Well, it's useful in any situation matches are, lighting:
    • Fireplaces
    • Grills
    • Candles (power outage, birthday cakes, or just being romantic)
  2. It's a handy piece of emergency equipment while biking, to:
    • Locate something in the dark
    • Signal for help
    • Light a fire
    • Warm hands
    • Thaw a part, etc.
  3. It's a Babe Magnet (laugh at the fictional story Milt Lights the Flame of Love)
Why a Zippo® (instead of a $0.99 disposable)?
  • It's windproof
  • It operates hands-free
  • It's a safer hand warmer (because of metal case)
  • It's guaranteed for life
  • It's very collectible, FWIW

Pictured above is one of the numbered, limited edition brushed chrome models we had made in 1999.  To protect the "exclusiveness" of the originals, there will be a slight change this time. At the least, there will be no numbering, but we may change the finish as well. Choices being considered are:

These prices are based on a minimum order of 50, and we cannot mix and match: we have to have 50+ of one style.  However, we only need 25 of a 2nd style (e.g., 50 chrome and 25 black).  If you want to purchase a SabMag Zippo®, contact me and put BBS Zippo in the Subject line.  Indicate how many you want and rank the finish choices.  Let me know how strong your preference is e.g., "I prefer matte black but will take brushed chrome", or "I'll only buy one if it's chrome".  I'll tally the votes and keep you all posted.

NOTE: I already have 50 orders for brushed chrome from the email list, although some of them had preferred matte black.  If I get 25-35 orders from the BBS split rouhly 50/50 on the color, we can probably do 50 chrome and 25 black.
