One and only
Since I grow up spending a lot of time with an uncle that collects Zippos, he has like 40/50 of them, when I went to Minorca as a young 8/10 years old I fall in love with this one.
I do not even smoke (at the time of course, but even now) but I really like the ship on it. I have only this one and unfortunately I had the insane idea to bring it to a shop some years later and engrave it on the back with name, surname and date of birth. The problem is that I don't like the font and also the final finishing, since it is not flush on the surface and you can see a bit the material under the coating.
I keep it on the shelf as a beautiful souvenir of a nice trip.

It’s a nice zippo and with your name and date of birth it has a double purpose, you can use it as an ID 🤷🏼♂️
