What is the PLPG?
Have your heard of the PLPG? The acronym stands for the Pocket Lighter
and Pyro Gadgets club. The PLPG was established in 1982 and transition in
2007 to the Pocket Lighter and Pyro Gadgets organization. We will continue to
spread the word about the fun of lighter collecting . Our purpose is to keep the HOBBY of lighter collecting alive
through you, the collector and have a whole lot of fun doing it.
The PLPG is interested in promoting all types of lighters, from the earliest
primitives, through Ronson, Evans, Dunhill and of course Zippo. Many of
our members have years of expertise that they are eager to share with you as a
PLPG member, so if your serious about collecting the PLPG is the place to be.
What about Shows
The PLPG now has one show a year which is in St. Louis and alternate sites
will be considered.
Our shows are an occasion for collectors to get together to buy, sell or
trade lighters and stories. PLPG members get a large discount on the price
of tables for our shows. Entry into shows is free for PLPG members, so if
displaying is not your thing, you can go just to enjoy the lighters, the company of the collectors or to get appraisals for your
lighters.
Keeper of the Flame
Once a year , at the St. Louis show, a committee of past winners chooses
the PLPG " Keeper of the Flame" for the year. The winner is
chosen from our members, based on his or her contributions to the hobby of
lighter collecting. The winner is awarded a beautiful plaque and is
featured in the next issue of Flint & Flame. The "Keeper of the
Flame" has been put on hold until our transition period is over.
