Replica Lighters

This the best lighter I've used i wanted to find a zippo lighter that would look good with use and im glad I purchased the 1941 replica lighter the brushed chrome finish I believe will look great still years down the road I carry it in my pocket and it still looks fantastic I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good quality lighter it will definitely get a more worn look with use but it will hold up and still look good

Awesome lighter iv wanted one since I started collecting zippo and th ever pics on her don't do this lighter justice def worth the money

This lighter is a beautiful replica of Zippo's 1935 design, complete with period-correct art deco graphics on the box. But that's what it is - a replica. If I were a collector of lighters, I wouldn't expect this to increase in value over the years, even if unused in original box. However, especially compared to Zippo's current models, this lighter looks like a piece of jewelry. It' so nice, I almost didn't want to use it. But I am using it, and I find myself treating it with much greater care than my other run-of-the-mill Zippos. The hinge is completely external, which gives the lighter a rugged appearance. The sides are brushed chrome, and the four flat thinner edges are flawless, high polish chrome. This model has slashes on the sides, which gives it a dressy appearance. Also available without slashes, which gives it a more industrial look. The hinge is a three-bar design rather than five as on current designs, which may or may not last longer than current models. I recommend applying a Teflon lube to the hinge occasionally if the lighter sees daily use. The flat edges and square corners may put off some who use the lighter rather than just displaying it, because those features make one-handed opening and closing very difficult...compared to the more modern designs with rounded corners. The thumb slips off the lighter's sharp corner before the lid opens. I've been using Zippos daily since 1968, and this is the only one with which I felt the need to use both hands for opening. That's not a deal breaker for me, but I thought I'd mention it. If you're into performing "Zippo Tricks," this lighter will not work for you.

The virtues of the Zippo Lighter have really been sung since 1932, so 90+ years later there isn't anything to say that hasn't been said already. But that won't stop me... I have several of these. Relevant to this review are three of them - the brushed chrome 1935 and 1941 replicas, and the sterling silver 1941. My use case - I smoke cigars. Probably more than I should, but whatever. The cigar culture tends to default to those butane torch lighters, which to me tend to lack in the performance department. I like soft flame lighters, and don't judge me. Using a Bic lighter is, honestly, a non starter for me because, well, it lacks style AND I really don't like throwing empty lighters away to sit in a landfill for a thousand years or whatever. Yes, one of the reasons I like Zippos is the environmental factor. Sue me. The Zippo price point is really appropriate given that you're buying a lighter that will, honestly, outlive you. The mechanism is dead simple (and therefore reliable) with a flame that doesn't go out at all easily. And while the Cigar Crowd gives me some grief for the whole "but but but lighter fluid has a smell that ruins the cigar!!1!!2111" I just say "you do you." Because honestly...it is a non factor. But here's where we get interesting, and I'm referencing the Precious Metals collection. While el-cheapo torch lighters can be had at a low cost, they also are horrible. To get a GOOD torch lighter you're going to go to a brand like S.T. DuPont, and yes those cost in the $150-$200 range for the entry level. And they are still torch lighters, meaning a mechanism that doesn't really lend itself well to repair. So, put me down for the sterling silver Zippo. It's still a bit on the ostentatious side, maybe, but so what. Given the choice between the S.T Dupont and this especially at the same price point...I'll go for this every time. Really, Zippo has become an American culture touchstone, and it's something I look at fondly. There's really nothing in the world like it, and for that I'm happy. Dead simple, iconic, and reliable: that's more than enough elan for me....

I bought this lighter because I was tired of throwing away all those plastic cheap gas station lighters. There is a landfill somewhere with about a thousand of those lighters from my lifetime of use. Do yourself a favor, and stop wasting 89 cents or however much those things cost and get a lighter that will last you a while. At some point, you'll end up paying more for crappy disposable lighters than just buying this once. This lighter is apparently some sort of special edition reproduction of a 1940's design. What does this mean to you if you're not a collector? It has one less hinge compared to the modern design (four instead of five). If you are a collector, why are you collecting lighters? Seems like an odd hobby to me, but to each his own I guess. The product arrived in a timely fashion in sturdy enough packaging to make the trip. The lighter is plain brushed chrome, and did not have any defects. It did not come with extra wicks, flints or fuel. Nor does the product description claim it does come with them. A bottle of naphtha set me back a few dollars. Naphtha is a mixture of hydrocarbons containing anywhere from five to twelve carbons. What does that mean if you didn't take organic chemistry in college? Zippo lighters can use a wide range of fuel, including pump gasoline (octane). This is convenient to some people, irrelevant to others. One point I think is worth mentioning is the fact that the company warranties the hinges and outer case. Send in your lighter, and they'll repair yours or send you a new one. I've never personally dealt with this service, but it sounds like a nice perk to have.

Always have enjoyed the use of a zippo lighter. When I noticed that zippo was producing the replicas I just had to have one. It was available at a great price so I purchased 2 due to sometimes I enjoy giving a zippo to a great friend. Zippo's lifetime guarantee is the best around. Ship it to them and they ship it back in the best possible condition they can achieve. They also install a new internal and send back the old one. If you ask they will sometimes provide extra flint packets. I believe zippo to be the best functioning lighter and especially recommend the new replicas due to they are a limited run and the bonus( that I found by accident or luck) is once in a while they will place an original in the box that says replica. I have been blessed to recieve 1, 1941 and 1, 1935 that do not have replica stamped on the bottom but instead the actual letters that relate it as original and I do use them. I have never replaced anything except flints and fluid and when the wick is used up or I obtain a new Zippo lighter I send the previous one in for repair. Best lighter, best prices and the shipping was fast. Item and seller recieve 5 golden stars for outstanding service.

The Black Ice shade truly lives up to its name. When not hit directly by light it reflects a medium gun metal shade however when hit with light, it looks like a slightly darker rugged chrome shade.The sides are polished and has a completely smooth texture as opposed to the front as it feels slightly rugged but not in an overly umpleasant way. It has rounded corners which feels very nice(Especially if you have small girl hands). Nevertheless the corner hinges are a bit flimsy, being able to move the top lid slightly from left to right causing it to not always be perfectly aligned when closed. Also, when opening fully, the top lid will hit the polished side, so if used daily, you should expect some wear in that area. I would'nt recommend it for tricks, seeing as it feels a bit more delicate than regular zippos. Overall its a very gorgeous lighter, functional and would make for a perfect gift for male or female. Pros: Very unique feel, nice in hand, soft smooth rounded edges, good replica, eye catching Cons: Hinges not as tight, barrel rises a bit when opened, might feel to some as raspy

I'm a fan of the vintage Zippo lighter look. After only a couple of weeks of riding around in my pocket with assorted coins and other objects, the brass finish on the case is developing a pattern of wear and patina. This may not be for everyone, and if you want your lighter to remain as pretty as it is when it comes out of the box, then you might not want to carry it the way I do. But if you don't mind your lighter looking well-used, this one will develop that look in short order. Functionally, this lighter works like any other Zippo: Top it up with fuel every two or three days depending on your usage, and it will always be ready to perform beautifully.

Hello I ordered but wasn't sure whether it's really original or not however I verified that it is the original one after I received it. it's made in 2015 but you know it has the same shape of the original model produced in 1941. by the way, the delivery was really fast :) Schnell !!! vielen dank :))

Dixième Zippo acheté sur Amazon, celui-ci a été acheté auprès du vendeur " Magasin de Plein Air " que je recommande. C'est LE Zippo standard en laiton chromé, finition entièrement polie, ici dans sa version 1935, dont Zippo a fait une réplique exacte, donc une superbe qualité de fabrication et pratiquement indestructible. Ici, c'est la version décorée par quatre tirets obliques ( Slashes ) de chaque coté du briquet. Les différences avec les Zippo modernes sont : 1 / Couvercle moins haut et plat, non bombé. 2 / Fond plat. 3 / Fixations de charnière de couvercle apparentes à l'extérieur du boîtier. 4 / Axe de charnière en trois parties au lieu de cinq parties. 5 / Axe de la roulette de pierre évidé et non plein. Bien entendu, le module essence de ce Zippo 1935 est parfaitement compatible avec les modèles 1941 et modernes. Ce Zippo est vendu à un prix très intéressant par rapport au prix marché moyen constaté ( Street price ), frais de port compris. Livré très rapidement dans sa boîte de présentation Zippo dont le couvercle carton est une réplique en relief de la boîte de 1935 avec " Windy / Venteuse ", la jeune femme qui allume une cigarette en plein vent et qui est la mascotte de la marque. Briquet Zippo fourni avec documentation en plusieurs langues dont le français et fabriqué à Bradford, Pennsylvanie - USA en janvier 2014. Marquage " A 14 " sous le briquet. Référence Zippo : " 1935 REPLICA W/SLASHES ". Poids 55 grammes. Garanti à vie. Satisfaction totale pour cet achat.

今回初めてジッポを買ってみました。 デュポンは持っていましたが、ジッポの方が 実用的なので良いですね。まだ開閉が下手くそなので参考になりますかね。ヤフー知恵袋に 開閉音がいいのが1941レプリカと有りましたので決めてになりました。

Love the clasic design of this model, and feel of brushed brass.

As always, the Amazon experience was Amazing! :) The lighter was an authentic one, and was delivered within a day. It was a completely sealed pack and the quality of material being used to craft the original Zippo's reflected well in the build of the lighter. This classic replica is definitely worth a collection!
