Antique Silver Plate Pocket Lighter

Why we picked it
Famous Zippo lifetime warranty: free repairs forever
The Zippo Antique Silver Plate is the antiqued, weathered-silver finish in the Zippo lineup, with the same all-brass case, windproof hinged lid, and lifetime warranty as every Zippo since 1932. r/BuyItForLife treats Zippo as the EDC lighter you buy once and pass down: Zippo USA repairs any Zippo for free, forever, including units handed down from grandparents. The antique silver-plate finish has a tumbled, vintage look that hides scratches and ages gracefully, instead of chipping like a painted finish. Made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, the same factory that has produced every Zippo for about 90 years, it carries the same 50-plus-year service life with cheap periodic flint and wick swaps. The one knock on any fluid Zippo is evaporation: it can go dry in a week or two of sitting unused, which is why many owners drop in a butane insert.
