Windproof petrol Zippo lighter with gunmetal brass case and steel insert, model 1941 Replica Black Ice. The characteristic feature of this model is that it is a reproduction of the second Zippo ever made. It has the same dimensions as the 1935 Replica but with a slightly domed lid and internal welds on the case. It was an evolution of the first model that led to the regular Zippo model we all know today. It is also 3 mm lower than current models. The flame guard makes it very convenient as the flame does not go out even in strong winds. The lighter's mechanics are very simple, with a steel case filled with cotton wool and a wick made semi-rigid by copper wires, and a flint for the spark. This simplicity means that a Zippo always works, and the company believes in it so much that it has always offered a lifetime guarantee. In the rare event that the lighter breaks down, simply download a form from the Zippo website and send it to Germany, where it will be repaired and returned to the sender free of charge. As with all petrol lighters, there is no flame adjustment and its height depends on the length of the wick. The wick wears out over time and needs to be pulled up from time to time. A Zippo lighter lasts on average a couple of days, but with a few precautions, you can double that. The first thing to do is to add a little cotton to what is already in the lighter so that it is well pressed, and then be careful when putting it in your pocket. If you put it upright, it will last longer. It is important to use only highly purified petrol, and Zippo's is the best. There are other brands on the market, but they are often more oily and, over time, they clog and dirty the mechanism. The Zippo is less suitable for cigars and pipes, for which gas inserts have been created that are more appropriate. The lighter comes with an elegant original gift box.
IMPORTANT: Due to postal regulations introduced in 2013, we can no longer ship lighters containing gas or petrol. The lighter will be supplied empty and must therefore be filled by the customer.
