Vintage High Polish Chrome with Slashes Pocket Lighter

Ain’t nothing quite like a good old Zippo lighter. Zippo is an American institution. Classy and timeless. Made in the USA Qualiyy. Best in the business. It’s always worth the money.

The Zippo Vintage with Slashes is one of two Zippos I own (the other being a standard Street Chrome version), and this is definitely my favorite of the two. While it does run about $4 more than a standard Zippo, it is well worth the money. This Zippo is a Vintage Series 1937 model with some slight differences from today's Zippos. Modern Zippo lighters have a bit of a curved top, whereas this Zippo has a flatter top. Aside from that, it's not much different from any other High Polish Chrome Zippo other than the fact that it has some neat "slashes" in the corners. The performance is not unlike any other Zippo. I've conducted numerous tests in varying weather conditions and was able to get a light fairly quickly in standard and windy weather, at most having to attempt twice before I finally got flame. The lighter has been dropped numerous times on hard ground but I still get a very durable structure with very little horizontal play on the hinge. It comes in a little case like any Zippo would, with some basic information and safety precautions in the top part. One thing I didn't know, being that this was my first Zippo, is how fast the lighter fluid went. I use my Zippo for tricks, so I don't really need to light it often, but the fluid had evaporated completely in a bit longer than a week. I'd highly recommend a 12 oz. can of Zippo fluid and also a card of Flints (run about $5 including shipping, or you can find them at your local smoke shop or take them out of a disposable lighter). This applies to any Zippo, of course. I am very satisfied with this product. It is an essential for collectors and just cool to be able to have a unique Zippo model that many others may not have.

I purchased several of these as gifts for a large event. After seeing the Zippo Vintage Series I immediately fell in love with this 1937 replica. I find them to be simple but very classic. The high polished chrome is super elegant. To answer some common questions, this lighter is USA made, ships without lighter fluid (though you can easily add some to your order, such as Zippo Lighter Fluid 12-Ounce ), it is a genuine Zippo item in original packaging and with all warranties, and it ships in the standard Zippo box. The ones I received did not come in any special "Vintage Series" packaging. Pros: - Vintage design with all the quality of a (modern) Zippo lighter - Solid, dependable functionality - Lifetime warranty from Zippo Cons: - Polished chrome looks awesome in my opinion, but shows fingerprints and scratches somewhat easily. You may look elsewhere if this bothers you. - As with any Zippo, keep the lighter fluid handy because it get used and also will evaporate over time and with use Suggestion: In addition to the fluid mentioned above, I suggest picking up extra wicks and flints just to have on hand. For the marginal extra cost, it will save you from having to find and purchase them later. If you're new to Zippo, this kit is a good place to start: Zippo Gift Set - 4 oz Lighter Fluid 1 Wick Card & 2 Flint Card (12 flints) I hope this review has been helpful to you. I will gladly respond to any comments if I can be of more help with your purchase.

The word Zippo is ingrained in American pop culture. The satisfying heft, the array of styles/patterns, the "Pwakng" as you flip the lid, the odor of the fuel - it all gels together as a small slick of americana. Whether you're purchasing it as a piece of nostalgia or as a functional tool, this company proves you can get a high quality, American made product at a low price. Onto this zippo: Pro's: - Looks beautiful. Hard to argue with the simplistic design and the sultry chrome - Works great and provides a wind proof flame - New notched insert provides a tighter fit meaning the fuel will evaporate slower - Unbeatable lifetime warranty Con's: - Build quality does not appear as good as it was a few years ago, compared to my older models - Zippo branding at the bottom of the case isn't stamped, it's flat. Doesn't look as nice as the standard design - Case is a little TOO tight with the insert, very hard to slide in and out Overall - it's a great product for the money.

Zippo as its is. Works well, looks well!

Sencillamente zippo, excelente

This is actually my first zippo, I've usually just bought Bic's but this is a nice smooth lighter. It gets your finger marks and smudges on it but its not a big deal and expected with chrome. It obviously doesn't come filled with lighter fluid so make sure you buy some. Overall its a nice old school looking lighter which is what I was looking for, there's no need for flashy designs with a lighter. Fits nice in your pocket, not too heavy, and has that nice clicking noise when you open it. I'm not really a trick guy with lighters but its easy to do simple little tricks with this and the edges give you a nice grip. Buy this if you want that good old classic look for your lighter.

This lighter was shipped and received quickly and looks as depicted on Amazon. Classic American design with sturdy construction. Feels solid in the hand. Was easy to fill with lighter fluid. Corners more squared than the modern designs, but still has a great feel. Notches, in addition to providing style, provided a bit of grip for lighter tricks. Caution, after lighter fluid is added, make sure you let it sit for about an hour to let it evenly absorb and distribute, otherwise if you play with the lighter and do tricks immediately after adding the fluid, some drops may flick out as I found out the hard way. Love the classic Zippo click !

Excellent. As ZIPPO is.

Bonito mechero, nunca falla, clásico y duradero. El zippo más hermoso.

O produto é muito bom, mas veio com oxidação no cromo. A entrega foi super rápida!

Nicht mein erstes Zippo, ich hatte vor ca. 40 Jahren schon mal ein sehr ähnliches. Leider ist es verloren gegangen. Was soll man sagen.. ein echter Klassiker. Qualitativ ordentlich gemacht und hübsch anzusehen. Trotz des relativ hohen Preises volle Punktzahl von mir. Eineinhalb Jahre später hab ich mir ein weiteres Zippo dieser Art gekauft, dieses Mal mit gebürsteter Chromoberfläche. Das gab es gerade im Angebot. Hat sich total gelohnt.

Sobrio pero elegante, le agradó a mi papá, quien fue a quien se lo obsequié.
