Solid brass case in a brushed-finish — develops a warm honey-toned patina as it’s handled, unlike chrome which stays the same. Same Zippo windproof flint-and-wick mechanism, refillable with lighter fluid. Lifetime warranty applies the same as chrome.
The patina-lover’s Zippo. Used by collectors who appreciate brass’s aging characteristics, by gift-givers wanting a warmer-metal alternative to chrome, and as the engraving-friendly version (brass takes detailed engravings well). Pairs with Zippo’s other Pocket Lighter finishes for a metal-rotation collection.
Zippo has been making windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932.
