(More customer reviews)The Zippo Vintage with Slashes is one of two Zippos I own (the other being a standard Street Chrome version), and this is definitely my favorite of the two.
While it does run about $4 more than a standard Zippo, it is well worth the money. This Zippo is a Vintage Series 1937 model with some slight differences from today's Zippos. Modern Zippo lighters have a bit of a curved top, whereas this Zippo has a flatter top. Aside from that, it's not much different from any other High Polish Chrome Zippo other than the fact that it has some neat "slashes" in the corners.
The performance is not unlike any other Zippo. I've conducted numerous tests in varying weather conditions and was able to get a light fairly quickly in standard and windy weather, at most having to attempt twice before I finally got flame. The lighter has been dropped numerous times on hard ground but I still get a very durable structure with very little horizontal play on the hinge. It comes in a little case like any Zippo would, with some basic information and safety precautions in the top part.
One thing I didn't know, being that this was my first Zippo, is how fast the lighter fluid went. I use my Zippo for tricks, so I don't really need to light it often, but the fluid had evaporated completely in a bit longer than a week. I'd highly recommend a 12 oz. can of Zippo fluid and also a card of Flints (run about $5 including shipping, or you can find them at your local smoke shop or take them out of a disposable lighter). This applies to any Zippo, of course.
I am very satisfied with this product. It is an essential for collectors and just cool to be able to have a unique Zippo model that many others may not have.
