About Us

 During the peak of the pandemic, I needed a creative outlet and was looking for a new hobby to distract me from endless Zoom calls. I've always had a thing for vintage items, particularly all things advertising, and I immediately gravitated to Zippos. The intricate fonts, bright colors, the care and thought put into crafting each piece right here in the U.S. These small metal canvases from a bygone era checked all the boxes. I was hooked. 

Starting out had my head spinning. It was equal parts exciting and overwhelming learning the history, terminology and most importantly, value of these beautiful lighters. For every unique piece I added to my collection, I made several mistakes, but still loved every minute.

With time, I hope to use Matchless Vintage as an outlet to keep learning and keep paying it forward by helping newcomers to the hobby get started, while inspiring long-time collectors with sought-after pieces.

Thanks for being here to celebrate an American icon and the countless people who have caught the collecting bug.
