I used to own a Bear Archery Zippo style lighter. I sold it to another collector though.

Nick,
 I posted up a quick picture of that old Bear Archery lighter on the other trad site.Someone started a thread about the Fred Bear Sports Club so I snapped a quick photo of a FBSC lighter along with the other one I got from you.Still wondering what the story is on that one.

John, Just went and checked out the thread and pic. Cool!
 I was going to mention your name when I posted above but some people get weird about others talking about their collections.

I know I wish I had some background on it also. It is up there in the cool department though!!!

OldSkoolArcher(Nick)-Not a problem.That little lighter is pretty cool.too bad it wasn't in better shape but evidently it was well used.Here's a better picture of some nicer FBSC lighters.Hope this works.
