A little history of Zippo Lighters:

Zippo lighters are found all over the world. Collectors, antique lovers, tobacco enthusiasts, young and old enjoy these American made quality lighters. The origins of Zippo lighters began in Pennsylvania with a windproof design in the year 1932. BlackZippo.com prides itself by offering ONLY the Zippo original windproof designed lighter. The Zippo windproof lighter carries a reputation unlike any other.

How-To Fill Your Zippo Lighter:

a) Purchase lighter fluid, preferably Zippo Brand Lighter fluid. Remove the lighter from its case and turn it upside down.
b) Observe a cotton flap and a screw. Lift cotton flap and observe white rayon batt stuffing inside. Point lighter fluid nozzle at stuffing and squeeze can with force until stuffing is saturated.
c) While lighter still upside down, insert into the case. Turn lighter over and test light.

Replacement:

One of the coolest aspects of Zippo Lighters is the "It works or we fix it for free" warranty. You can send your Zippo in to be fixed for life at no charge.

Zippo Lighter Construction:

The cases of Zippo lighters are typically made of metal and are rectangular with a hinged top. Inside the case are the works of the lighter: the spring-toggle lever that keeps the top closed, the wick, windscreen chimney, thumbwheel, and flint, all of which are mounted on an open-bottom metal box that is slightly smaller than the bottom of the outer case, and into which it slips snugly*.

Why purchase engraved zippo lighters when you can completely custom design one for that special someone in your life!
