Self Edge Zippo Vintage Reproduction Lighters
We've worked directly with Zippo to put our artwork on a couple of classic Zippo windproof lighters. Started in 1932 in Pennsylvania Zippo is known for it's iconic flip-top windproof lighters. They're all still made in Pennsylvania in the original factory and still come with a lifetime warranty.
One of our favorite Zippo designs is their 1937 flip-top windproof lighter. They took the 1935 version and rounded the edges to make it more comfortable in your hand and added the iconic double slashes on two opposite corners. Our design engraved on the front is a nod to the fact that what is known today as a "coin pocket" was once known as a "watch pocket".
Next up is an exact reproduction of Zippo's flip-top lighter from 1941. In 1941 they made the case look more slim by having flat planes with sharper and less rounded edges where the front and back surfaces meet the sides. The lid and bottom case are joined by a four barrel hinge which they eventually changed to a five barrel hinge after the 1950's. The inside of the bottom of the case is flatter with squared edges where the front and back surfaces meet the sides. So many details on something so simple and functional.
Both of these designs are available now at all three Self Edge stores and in our online store along with a full restock of the American Optical Blasted sunglasses.
