Any idea on the cost? Ballpark? I'm interested too but price is definately an issue. Gorgeous work so far on these.

Here you go:

Constantine Zippo sold for $2,550

Latest estimate is about one-tenth of that.

Just my opinion, but I highly doubt that auction was legit. HIGHLY. Or a very rich, foolish [blank] has recently found eBay....

The person who bought it has 100% feedback and has been buying almost nothing except for Zippos. I think it's legit.

 

[juno]

I had bought a Kill Bill (fake) zippo for something like $5 at a flea market. It went for $50 on eBay. I'm not surprised.

 

[LeMarchand]

like i said....these zippo collectors are as nuts as we

 

[wynnstudio]

I'll take a 1/3 of that - I only paid $120 for it

but enough about this - bring on the new version.

Too right, mate. My PayPal account is loaded and I've got an itchy trigger finger.

Progress:

[Mike J.]

Done.

[attachmentid=8228]

Marc, I need the measurements now, so I can size & tweak everything.


-Mike

 

[LeMarchand]

looks great mike, excellent work as always

one suggestion. I think there should be lines across the vertical stripes in the top section.

and maybe the 'P' in the circle just a little more to the left.

cheers,

Marc

[/b]

Should maybe the 'P' and the circle it's in be moved a skosh to the left? It's obvious it doesn't line up with the 'C' circle above it. It looks like the casting of the lower left of the larger circle shifted inwards and the 'P' went with it. Since Mike idealized the circle, the 'P' should prbably be adjusted accordingly as well.

 

[Mike J.]

Done and done.

Never noticed how "off" that P was. Huh.

Now, depending on what the engraving process does, I can 'roughen' my original to make it look more ... wonky.

You guys want that or not?

[TimDrakeRobin]

Im so excited that this is breathing again....

IT"S ALIVE...

Personally, I'd rather get the idealized version, I think. Then, I could wonk it up on my own a tad, if I so desired.

 

[Beeb89]

Wonk or no wonk, (I don't have a preference myself), I'm glad to see this continuing to push forward. I can't wait for this one.
