Display Case
Anyone know where I could find a display case for 10 Zippo lighters?

My boyfriend has nine Zippo lighters form various places he’s served. I thought it might be nice to get him a display case for Christmas. I’ve been looking online, but have only found one that is over $100. I was wondering if anyone in the community might know where to get one at a better rate.

Thanks
I asked Nascar because there was really no applicable topic, but I know Nascar fans buy a lot of stuff maybe a little like what I’m looking for.

Actually TallGlass, that is very appropriate.

You can find all kinds of zippo display cases on ebay. New and used actual “zippo” cases, as well as custom cases that people make. This would be your best bet (other than getting lucky at a garage sale, or smoke shop that is closing). You can also try your local tobacconist that is a zippo retailer if they can order one for you. This method might be the most expensive, and some might not even order it for you. Just a case of who is nice and who isn’t.

I can tell you that there are actual zippo brand cases that hold 10-12 lighters for about 25-40 dollars on ebay. I just checked recently because I am trying to find a nice display case for my collection. You might also try some of the zippo collectors clubs. There is one on Facebook, as well as ZEN (Zippo Enthusiasts Network). All friendly places.

Best of luck in your hunts.

Unique Groomsman Gifts Other than Personalized Flasks, Bottle Openers, and Beer Mugs

It must be something unusual such as: customized undergarments and bathing apparels, men’s travel watch, personalized fashion accessory, stainless harmonica, personalized koozie, rubber gripped army knife, personalized fish cooler and chair, and bar wares.

Choosing a token of appreciation for your groomsmen can sometimes be very challenging. You need to come up with something that is not usual to make him feel more special. Here are some suggested gifts that I find unconventional such as:

Customized undergarments and bathing apparels

To get away with the traditional gifts, try undergarments with their names on it. You can also go for personalized bathing apparels like robes, slippers, and towels. With these, your friends will always remember you since they get to use them almost everyday.

Men’s travel watch

For athletes, a customized travel watch is a perfect match for their adventures. Just simply clip in on the bag or anywhere you like.

Personalized fashion accessory

Since genuine jewelries are too expensive, you may opt for plated fashion accessories like bracelet or cuff links. These are also made from high quality materials; although, not that luxurious as compared to the authentic ones. Customize it by engraving their names or may be your initials.

Stainless harmonica

If your groomsman is the music-lover type, give him this handy steel instrument where he can carry and use anytime.

Personalized koozie

Here is a silver-plated koozie for the beverage of your choice. Give it a personalized touch by putting on private messages or names of your groomsmen. You can also pick the one with their favorite football team logo, so that they can include it in their collections.

Rubber gripped army knife

A good present for a cool guy is the 13-function Swiss Army Knife made from a quality steel. Its functions include scissors, screwdriver, bottle opener, and more, which is very useful during camping.

Personalized Fish cooler and chair

Ideal gifts for those who love camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities is the 2-in-1 cooler and chair. Convenience is what it offers because it is collapsible, which makes it practical to carry. Its weight is also an additional advantage because it comes in a very handy and portable design.

Bar wares

An exceptional presents are set of bar wares, which come in various styles and designs like: toe shoe opener, dice wine figural corkscrew, aluminum jigger cube, bottle opener with fridge magnet, and disposable flask. Your buddy would surely love to get all of these to add to his kitchen collectible items.

Stainless Steel
What minimum grade of stainless steel should I look for in a kitchen sink?

I have been told to not look below an 1810 grade stainless steel, but then other gradings I have seen are something like 304, or S30400. I have no idea what is what. Can someone please clarify? It’s for kitchen and laundry. Thanks very much!

Usually stainless steel sinks are made with a certain thickness of metal. The lower the number the thicker the metal. An 18 gauge sink will resist damage much better than 20 or 22 gauge sinks, especially if you plan to wash you pots and pans in the sink. Pots and pans will usually dent a 22 or 20 gauge sink. Also look to see how deep the basin is, a 6 in deep basin will not allow you to wash many of your deep pots.
