Brass Lighters

Introduced in 1982 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Zippo, the brass lighters continue to be one of Zippo's most popular lighter collections with a wide array of styles, sizes, and designs to choose from. The classic windproof lighter is our standard Zippo lighter and is the most popular size. The Slim® windproof lighter is for those who prefer a trimmer, lightweight lighter. The Armor® windproof lighter has a case that is 1.5 times thicker than our classic windproof lighter. A light protective coating surrounds the solid brass lighter to prevent it from tarnishing before it is used. The coating will eventually wear off in normal pocket use.

All Zippo windproof lighters are american made in our Bradford, PA factory.

Brass Lighter Finishes

High Polish Brass

The High Polish Brass lighter has been in the product line since 1982. All surfaces of the lighter (front, reverse, top, bottom, and sides) are finished with a lustrous, mirror-like finish. Models 254 and 254B of the High Polish Brass lighters have a flat bottom.Our current lighter has a 'canned' (recessed) bottom or flat bottom.

Brushed Brass

The Brushed Brass lighter was created in 1982 where it has remained a popular model today. The front and reverse of this lighter are finished with a horizontal brushing technique that adds interest and dimension to the brass finish. Sides of the Brushed Brass lighter are buffed to a high polished finish for contrast. Models 204 and 204B of the Brushed Brass lighters have a flat bottom. Our current lighter has a 'canned' (recessed) bottom or flat bottom.

Venetian High Polish Brass

Introduced in 1974, the timeless front and reverse floral pattern of the Venetian continues to be the most globally appealing lighter design Zippo has ever released. The Venetian lighter has a high polished customization panel that can be engraved with initials, a short message, or a significant date for a personalized gift.

Tumbled Brass

The Armor® Tumbled Brass lighter was introduced in 2014. The entire surface of the lighter, including the sides and bottom, has been tumbled in a special media to replicate the random scuffs and scratches of a beloved, well-used lighter. A distinctive bottom stamp authenticates this Tumbled Brass lighter as a heavy- walled Armor®, about 1.5 times as thick as a standard brass case.

Herringbone Sweep

Herringbone Sweep lighters feature a brushed, angled pattern on both sides of each model. The sides of the model have a tumbled finish for added contrast. First introduced in 2009 as a Chrome finish, this year the most popular Chrome finish is now available in brass.

Diagonal Weave Brass

Introducing a stately new finish, the Brass Diagonal Weave. Directional brushing brings new depth and tones to the brass lighter. Tumbled finished sides complete the look. Paired with a gold-flashed insert for heightened sophistication and functionality.

Cleaning

To restore the natural patina of solid brass, we recommend the following: High polish case: Clean with brass polish. Brush finish case: Gently clean with multi-purpose cleaning pad such as light or medium duty Scotch Brite brand (do not use steel scouring pad). Carefully rub the pad in the same direction of the grain of the finish.
