Zippo: Behind the Scenes

Get an inside look at the Zippo lighter manufacturing process. All standard windproof lighters start from a solid brass roll. The rolls are cut and stamped into the base and lid shapes. From there, the base and lid are separated and transported to welding. Hinges are then welded onto the base and lid creating the lighter case. The cases then travel to have the desired finish applied. After the finish dries the cases can then be engraved, color imaged, or decorated in various other ways. Meanwhile, the lighter inserts are stamped from rolls of steel. Each insert is fitted with a flint wheel, flint, spring, cam, wick, rayon, and felt pad. After the insert is finished, it can be fitted in the lighter case. Finally, the finished lighter is carefully inspected, boxed, and shipped around the world.

I Love the zippo lighter i have 3 very classic and cheep ones but they do work everytime. I Realised how awesome zippo was. when i was traveling with my friends with a feryboat and the wind was so strong that nobody could light their ciggaretes but only me.

I love Zippos, sadly in Brazil a simple matte Zippo costs about 200 Reais, or U$70,00 dollars. I'm trying to collect, but because of the price I have only 5, 4 of them were imported from USA. Anyway, keep the great work!

I Dont wanna be an ass but today i just bought a chrome zippo, zippo fluid 12 fl oz (355mL) and zippo flints for only 25 euros or 32 dollars. I see all other countries have expensive zippo stuff but im really good. Also the cheepest zippo here is 17 dollars.
