For years, people have been coming to Zippo with design ideas for windproof lighters. In 2010, the company gave them a chance to produce a fresh design. The result is the Zippo Zipper, an attractive black lighter with a zipper graphic. Artist Joseph DeBono explained, "Like George G. Blaisdell, I toyed with the word zip and several ideas came out of that. I came up with five ideas on how to do 'Zipper.' I finally decided on doing the zipper on the lid and did my best to make it look attractive. I wondered if it would be better with Zippo written somewhere, so I just embossed it on the clip." The Zippo Zipper comes in a black ice finish and is fully windproof.

No problem with receiving item on time. No issues with seller or item. Would purcase again from seller. Zippo in original condition with sticker still in original place on the back. Included all documentation that is typical in buying a Zippo in a physical store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, October 7, 2009

When I first saw this lighter I loved the Zipper design, but wasn't a fan of the finish in the thumbnail. Until I saw a real picture of one of these, they are super shiny, but also dark. I would be the closest to highly polished gunmetal. I received it and it was even better than what I was expecting. What a finish! Wow! Extremely Highly recommended, and it makes a better click than my Orange Matte one too :)

I know what I was getting after reading all the reviews but what I didn't expect was the average construction of this lighter. It seems to be made from a thinner guage sheet metal than lighters made 40 years ago. The lid of this lighter is a little loose, tolerance could be tighter. Made in U.S.A. is not what it's used to be, but still better than those immitations made in PRC. I expect this lighter will last me a long while.
