Between a few more myself and Rick it should be about 150 plus or minus a couple. Not bad, especially thinking I was worried about getting 30 for an order.

I would defiantly be in for 1 or 2

Any way to put a decoder in so we can show our zippo decoders for secret cf member only meetings?

I'll have to look into that


Order placed (146 lighters bought/paid for plus 3 for me and a pair for Rick) and I'm expecting (hoping) for the prototype image from Zippo this week.

All depends on how busy they are, but once we have that it should be 1-3 weeks before I receive them and start shipping.


Starting to have a few people wondering if I've cashed their checks yet (I have not). I'm waiting until I actually have the final and last go ahead from Rick (his approval on the lighter itself) before I cash/deposit anything and than have to pay for them.

I apologize if I have not gotten back to anyone, but I have tried to notify everyone that I've received payment from (5 pages of PM's worth).

Back up - Please see above statement

My dad is meeting with the zippo rep on Tuesday. Should have a proof image for Ricks approval and to move into production soon.

Please see two posts above for further clarrification.

My dad met with the rep yesterday, he said the image was good and shouldn't be an issue. Prototype image was not available as of yet, should be soon (this week or early next week we were told). I will forward that to Rick for final approval and we should be good.

I guess they (Zippo) are busier than normal, but any custom orders are supposed to ship before they shut down for the 4th.

I apologize for the delay, people who paid with paypal/mo have obviously been charged. Those who paid with check I have not cashed those yet, haven't cashed the MO's yet either. Waiting until I have to pay and than I will do so.

Thanks for your patience, we should have a finished product soon.

Not going quite as quick as I had hoped, but my dad spoke with Zippo again on Friday. They're still expecting shipment by the end of the month, but the prototype graphic on their end still hasn't been made.

I need to get that to Rick for the final go ahead. Should be soon now....


Hope everyone had a good weekend,

Cal

Thanks for the update and for all the trouble you've gone to to make this happen.

Personally, I'm in no hurry for mine.

Cal,

We need to break ours in together on the back deck...with a couple Back Woods, and a couple Silver Bullets.

That's an invite. Bring the GF.

I'm a fellow Minnesotan- how do I get an invite to that??? I'll bring the stogies!

Al, I'll take you up on that... Gotta give you a call one of these evenings. Life's been CRAZY the last month and won't get much better until August.

BUT, I'll be living in Apple Valley for a few weeks in July and will swing over.

Well boys, got some good news...

Image prototype is in and looks good. Will forward it to Rick this evening and if approved we should be in the home stretch.

Image was just submitted to Rick, so hopefully he's around to approve it and they should ship by the end of next week to me.

Looking forward to getting mine!

I've a backlog of good stogies that need to be lit.

Best,

GWB

Brass-etched approved.

Hot Dayamn!
New lighter to be broke in firing up a stogie!

Yup,



and more on the way in.......

Best,

GWB

Order will go out in the AM, with luck they'll be on their way by the end of next week.

The week of the 4th I'll be moving from my SD place as well as my Red Wing place into storage (homeless the Month of July until I close on my new place) but in the evenings if I have them that week I'll start shipping each evening starting with the paypal orders first (easy shipping labels) and working my way through everyone.

I'll make an update when I have them in my hands.

Woo hoo! Can't wait to get the lighter in my grimey little hands!!!

Thanks again,

John
