    2. fernpig fernpig, 10 years ago
      Thanks,inky.She was,inside and out.
    3. fernpig fernpig, 10 years ago
      I am not sure that many people know that Zippo will put any picture you own on a lighter.And,at a very reasonable price.
    4. inky inky, 10 years ago
      She has a soft kind face...do you use the lighter?..as it would be a lovely to have her with you always....:-)
    5. fernpig fernpig, 10 years ago
      As of yet,I haven't used it.Not sure if I'm going to.I'd hate to scratch it.
    6. inky inky, 10 years ago
      Yes I can understand that...copulent you get a little cover for it or make one.....:-)
    7. inky inky, 10 years ago

      Do you know what material they use for these pics & if it scratches or wears off easily. I quit many years ago but see ideas for some nice gifts. Sorry to butt in Inky.
    9. fernpig fernpig, 10 years ago
      blunderbuss2,it seems to be some kind of enamel and pretty durable.inky,that is a good idea,I'll look for one.
    10. fernpig fernpig, 10 years ago
      Thank you,CindB.I will get a better pic of the lighter.
