Pipefitter, go to your local bookstore and see if you cannot find some information on your old Zippo lighter. Perhaps if you sent me some info on the engraving on it I could help.

i have a 3 barrel 2998th E.F.B. Co North Korea 1953 zippo i found many years ago in the dirt playing as a kid, i have since cleaned up and used for a little bit. Works good and looks cool because it looks old. i would love to find the value of this item and maybe a person who would enjoy it more than i.

I have a good sized collection (full sets in box/singles/ and special collectible zippos). I would like to sell them. Who do I contact--will I even recover the investment I've made? These lighters are from the 90's.
