This is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter, made in the same Bradford, Pennsylvania factory Zippo has operated since George G. Blaisdell founded the company in 1932. Zippo built its reputation during World War II, when soldiers carried them into combat and the lighter's reliability under rough conditions became part of American folklore. Nearly a century later, the design and manufacturing process haven't fundamentally changed.
This one has a smooth, satin-finish case, all-metal construction, and the distinctive spring-hinged "click" every Zippo is known for. The windproof design works in conditions that would snuff out a standard lighter. It's refillable indefinitely; Zippo recommends their own premium fuel, flints, and wicks for best performance. Every Zippo, including this one, carries the brand's lifetime guarantee: "it works or we fix it free."
The Short & Sweet:
Genuine Zippo windproof lighter, satin finish
