[Slowhand] Robert Johnson's zippo

[John Broholm]

>>>And
he lit them with a satin finished Zippo lighter that
was manufactured on 12, Dec. 1933. <<<

There's historical doubt about that. Some sources indicate it had a plated (rather than solid) lid that came from a 1934 model. He also apparently used flints that were .005" longer than the factory parts, for extra spark. Researchers have not been able to determine whether those flints were single-wound or double-wound.
