OTLS was founded in 1983 with 3 members. We currently have approximately 900 members in 16 countries. This club is for collectors of any type lighter — Ronson, Zippo, Evans, European, etc. We also have a few members who collect other categories of tobacciana, such as ash trays, smoking stands, Case & Zippo knives (Case Knife Co. is now owned by Zippo).
The club has a bi-monthly newsletter. In addition to the 6 issues, the March issue always contains a separate “Convention Letter” with details of our annual convention. Our annual convention is always in June, in different cities.
