I just want to let you guys and gals know that for the past few months I have been working to get the Marauder zippo's made again, and I'm happy to say that its gonna happen:D It cost me a lot of money and I had to through many channels for this to happen, including getting permission directly from Ford:eek: ,dealing with a several differant distributers, and a bunch of headaches!! They will be exactly the same as the ones produced before down to the tin box with the logo embossed on it. I should be getting them by the end of january:banana:I have not decided how much I want to sell them for so please be patient.

Since I collect every other bit of Marauder propaganda, I'm down for one.

Thanks for stepping up and making this opportunity available.

I'm iffy on the embossed version since I quit smoking (well, full-time anyways :) ), but I'd be down for a handful of engraved ones if there is an opportunity.

Wow, glad I didn't trade my hat for it. If these are exact even down to the stickers and price is good I might be up for two, but definitely at least one. Thanks for doing this.

i'd be in for at least 2, one to use and one to collect

don't smoke but a lighter and a knife are two things nobody should leave the house without.

Sean,
Thank you for doing this. I don't smoke, but I'd like to have 2 lighters, depending on $$$$ involved.

It's not a Zippo Blu, is it? It looks like the stalwart wick & fluid Zippo.

I've been looking for a wind-resistant, butane lighter for, what else, lighting cigars outdoors. This would be nice, except that it probably uses lighter fluid :(

My uncle is a huge cigar an and has several zippos. He just told me thart you can swap out the Zippo innards for some Zplus insert thingy that makes it "Better than the Blu" (a little uncle Bootsy quote for ya!) So get in on this!

Found what he was talking about:

I'm interested.
BTW,for you non smokers,somebody,probably Zippo,makes a neat little flashlight that fits inside the case and replaces the lighter guts so you can still use your MM lighter and have a cool conversation piece. I'll look for a link.
Found some info on the flashlight,I had no idea these were so old or discontinued so long ago.
Here's a link to see what they looked like.
