Close Enough Lighter from Zippo

I just saw this on the Zippo website: a pretty good close enough Elsa clover lighter. They're out of stock on the Zippo site, but i saw that they are available on amazon.com.

This one is closer, I think...

It's a touch pricey but it looks correct.
These can be found on eBay as well. look for "Elsa lucky charm lighter"

Respectfully,

That exact one is on the bay now...

i prefer the old style plain silver zippo- the more 'square' one... I think it is more date correct for the shape.

Personally I'd wait it out until August 1st and go for any Relic Raider version;

From what I've heard the one seen here tends to be easilly scuffed on the print surface. RR is tank-built.

Just my 2 coins worth.

Swindiana has chosen wisely, wait until Aug. 1st. and purchase a Relic Raider version.

I never actually understood what exactly a "badge" is. When you order from RR, I am assuming you are purchasing a lighter AND the pattern?

If you order a "badge" from RR you will only receive the resin or metal Clover "attachment" that you can adhere to a Zippo lighter you have or plan to purchase. You would not recieve the entire lighter.

I have one of rr's 1937 zippos with resin badges & a modified ziplight insert & I love it. I would recommend waiting for one of his...

I bought the relic raider badges and a complete lighter (one for each style). Both are incredible. Attaching the badges was easy. I bought heavy duty epoxy from Wal-Mart and have had no problems. I also recommend his Zip lights if you're not a smoker. Pretty nice flashlight and a lot of fun when people see your lighter and ask you for a light for their cig.
