The good old-fashioned Zippo lighter is as much a part of any American male’s essential kit as a navy blazer or a decent pair of loafers. Though the ones we’ve collected over the years have been relegated to a dresser drawer since we stopped smoking some years ago, we like to think of them as more than mere reminders of a misspent youth. Our favorite, in well-burnished sterling silver, still sees service on special occasions when there are ladies present whose cigarettes require fire.
Thus we were delighted to see them treated as objets d’art»
