Product Details
Matte Black Lighter with Zippo Logo (218ZL) by Zippo®. Finish: Matte Black. Black matte lighter adorned with the classic Zippo logo. All surfaces of a matte lighter are characterized with solid, flat color- free of shine, shimmer or gloss. Matte lighters are produced using a powder coat. The coating is then lasered off the hinge and bottom of the lighter to reveal the bottom stamp. The 1st matte lighter, which was black, was introduced into Zippo's stock line in 1984. Brushed brass lighters have a unique horizontal brushing technique, which creates a subtle horizontal texture on the front and reverse sides of the model. The sides of the lighter are buffed to a high polish finish for added contrast. The Brushed Brass finish was created in 1982 and has remained a popular model today.

The history of Zippo® started back in 1932 when its founder George G. Blaisdell decided to modify the design of a cumbersome Austrian lighter. Today Zippo lighters are ingrained in American culture and considered to be a global icon of reliability. They've been featured in more than 2,000 movies, stage plays, and TV shows. In 1962 Zippo produced its first non-lighter product - the steel pocket tape measure and since that time has started to diversify its product line with lighter accessories, butane multi-purpose lighters, men’s and women’s fragrances, lifestyle accessories, eyewear, hand warmers, and products for outdoor enthusiasts.
