ZippoMen's Replica Windproof Metal Long Lasting Use Fluid | Perfect for Cigarettes Cigars Candles | Pocket Lighter Fire Starter | Collectible 1935, Brushed Chrome, regular

I have used Zippos for many years now,all shapes sizes and finishes,for the simple reason that they are reliable,easy to maintain,easy to fill,windproof,very robust and come with a lifetime guarantee.So why did I pick this particular model?Well I was intrigued by the straight edge and the outside hinge giving it a very distinctive look from all other makes of windproof lighter.It still has that unique zippo sound when opening and closing and is as easy to strike as it always have been.It is 1/8th of an inch shorter than the standard modern zippo so if,like me,you are used to sparking up automatically,you might find it a little strange at first.It takes any standard insert,so there is a bit of movement inside the case,but not really a problem.The sides are a mirror finish and the front and back are a very nice heavy grind brushed finish that gives off a bit of a reflection unlike the almost matt finish of the more modern brushed chrome.I really like this lighter and it lights my ciggies.Only one thing puzzles me,if it's made on the same machines using the same materials and using the same processes,How come this is a replica?

Works well, as with any of the standard Zippo models, gave me good service at temperatures down to -25°C.My only complaint would be that due to its thinner frame and metal the lid doesn’t seem as sturdy, and on my example sat slightly offset when closed, however this did not affect the lighter’s utility.

Feels good, satisfyingly clunky and looks great with classic styling.

I had one of these for a few years and loved the boxy design and external hinge. It worked perfectly. Sadly I lost it during a move- fell out my top pocket. It was worn and tarnished and looked as it should. I ordered a replacement. Amazon send out Zippo's by courier for a next day delivery- even if you pick the free delivery option (due to RM restrictions I gather); this is worth noting. The replacement had a lid which did not shut flush. I did everything I could but this particular one beat me and I ended snapping off the little part inside the lid- I'd fiddled too much, not so much since my teenage years in fact. I ordered another, same case- free delivery- arrived next day. Amazon sent the wrong one; it had a picture of the Zippo girl on it. I noticed this also had a lid which didn't sit flush. I spoke to Amazon, whom I must commend for their excellent customer service and a replacement was to be sent out and the wrong one picked up by courier the next day. I asked Amazon if they could be sure to pick a 1935 with a lid which sits flush, and they most certainly did. A rare treat of outstanding CS in this world of incompetence.So the message hidden within my rambling is that if you get a lighter with a flush lid, you will have lasting and healthy product worthy of 5 stars. But these appear to be hit and miss as my ratio is 50% lucky out of 4.(The new one is still shiny and perfect looking which I can only take as a sign that I have clearly not smoked enough, and must improve on my feeble efforts.)

This is a reproduction of the first real Zippo lighter,the 1932 was made under licence by another company,the usual Zippo quality and lifetime guarantee.Nice lighter in an art deco box,smaller than the 1941 repro,makes a good addition to any collection or impress your friends with your knowledge of all things vintage.Grab one soon as these are getting rare now.

I like my zippos ,but the first time i pulled this out of my pocket I was asked what it was because it had the normal zippo clunck on opening ,light first time but some people actually noticed the outer hinge ,so all in all it can be a nice conversation starter .

sent it back. I was not too impressed by it. Also it will not take a butane converter.

Anyone who's ever owned a zippo knows they're good quality lighters that will last a lifetime. This is no different. Solid bit of kit.

Formschön, aber am Scharnier etwas wackelig, allerdings ist es auch eine Replik, mit dem Scharnier von 1935. Seit über einem Monat im Gebrauch und das Scharnier hält.Ich kann es empfehlen wenn man auf retro steht, und bereit ist dafür mehr zu zahlen.Ich finde es tatsächlich sehr gelungen.

失くしたので、再び購入やっぱり形が好きです

Soy un cliente de Zippo. He tenido un buen número de encendedores de esta marca y sigo siendo fiel a la misma. Me gusta el aspecto retro de este encendedor, compacto y con las esquinas un poco redondeadas. Su tamaño es algo mayor a los zippo actuales. Por supuesto,es original, en la base aparece grabado la palabra "replica" que se refiere al tipo de modelo (año 1935) y no a la marca, claro.En mi caso funciona perfectamente, el encaje de la tapa es tan correcto como cualquier otro modelo y no he tenido ningún problema con el, eso sí, siempre utilizo piedras y gasolina de la marca.Muy contento con la compra. A ver cuánto me dura sin perderlo...

Amazing build quality and timeless design

The steel cover is third classVery poor quality
