The Zippo 233 Red Matte Pocket Lighter is the brand’s flip-top metal lighter in a deep red matte finish — the most-recognized of the Zippo color line. The matte coating resists fingerprints and gives the lighter a softer hand-feel than the bright high-polish chrome originals.
Use it as an everyday-carry pocket lighter, a cigar and pipe lighter, a candle and fireplace lighter, a camping fire-starter, a gift for someone who wants Zippo quality in a color that stands out, an inscribable engravable lighter for personalization, and any application where the red color signals personality without crossing into novelty. The windproof flame works in conditions that defeat butane lighters.
Zippo Manufacturing Company has been making windproof pocket lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932 — over 90 years of American lighter making. Every Zippo carries the company’s lifetime warranty: “It works or we fix it free.”
