Zippo Venetian High Polish Brass Lighter

A decent little lighter, I lost my old zippo and the 2 days I was without it were pure hell. I've checked for any signs that it's a forgery, just in case, and I can confirm that I'm pretty sure it's a GENUINE zippo lighter. Just in case you were wondering how to check for a forged Zippo I'll post a few simple points: 1. Dull flat click. When you open and shut your Zippo it should have a nice echoey ping. 2. Brass pins. A genuine Zippo will not have brass pins through the thumbwheel and the lock connecting the insert to the case. 3. Obviously the price, this is pretty much the RRP for a cheap Zippo. Fakes will be cheaper. You can also check when your Zippo was made by looking on the bottom of the case. The letter on the left will indicate the month (A is Jan, B is Feb etc.) And then the year is on the right. Mine is Jan 2010. The month and date will also be on the insert (don't worry if the date on the insert doesn't match the date on the bottom, they are often made at different times). Would Definitely recommend! 10/10 =]

This is a replacement for the original which is 20 years old!Zippo is a good quality make that is used every where and well known,This is one of the many designs that Zippo do which is very good looking also handy in bad weather as you can light a Zippo in windy conditions. This design has a nice feathery like design on the casing in polished brass,the lid flips up to expose the lighting wheel,you can buy Zippo lighter fuel as well to guarantee long life of the lighter to! The lighter is quick and easy to fill and use also is very nice looking,this design would be nice looking enough to give as a gift.The supplier of this lighter was also very quick to dispatch the item to,came in its own box and packed well,would recommend to anyone.

Another great reliable petrol lighter from Zippo. This Brass lighter feels solid and heavy with a thick, black-brass classic Floral Emblem design, on the side (the lid still flips n'clunks as usual, and the lighter has a normal brass insert). I'd say this was "a must" for the collector. This lighter would also make a very good present, with space for engraving, on the other side. A real nice thing, so if you like Zippo and can afford it, BUY it.

I bought this when the price was low as I'd always fancied a Zippo lighter. I'm not a smoker so I bought this for lighting my hand warmer and using during outdoor activities like camping. This is my first Zippo and I have to say that I was slightly disappointed with the quality of the construction for something that is a premium product. The edges are not well finished and there were scratches on the insert. Apparently the flame is wind proof but I blew it out quite easily. It's a simple construction with no extra features like waterproof or air tight seals like I have had on some of my outdoor lighters but then I guess there's not much that can go wrong with this lighter either. And if it does break Zippo will fix it under their guarantee. It seems like it should be a durable product and it's nice to look at too. I reckon it will last a lot longer than the fancy turbo flame lighters I've bought in the past. All in all for the price I paid I'm happy

A beautiful lighter. I opened the box and the gleam from the metal hit me in the eye and I knew I had made a sound purchase. Thankfully the lighter fluid came with the same delivery as the lighter and I could fill her up (which was rather simple to do, other than needing a small tool to flip the thicker padding up so that the lighter fluid could get to the cotton filling). The lighter lit one the first time after over 50 tests, and whilst a quick sharp blow of wind blew the flame out, it seems to be able to withstand a breeze quite well. The fact that this lighter fits perfectly into the tiny pocket inside jeans makes it all the better. Whilst I am afraid of the day that I scratch this beauty, I'll still feel great when using it.

Great quality and working well

Love this lighter without doubt my favourite one! Used many times and is great! My friends were obsessed with it when I first got it and everyone wanted to use it haha! Love the style and is nice and shiny straight out of the official zippo box.mine is pretty firth in photos because I’ve had it for a year now and I didn’t really take great care of it for a while but if you do it will no doubt keep shining on!

Have always coveted the venetian Zippo since seeing it in the 1970s. I suppose it's a sign of the times but back then the pattern was properly engraved with the design in relief, it felt good in the hand and was smooth. This item unfortunately is just lazer etched, although the photos in this listing cunningly gives the impression that it is engraved. The result is that in the flesh the design is much flatter with no depth and is very rough in the hand (almost like sandpaper) a very poor version of what used to be a very beautiful lighter. Can't understand why zippo thinks it's OK to do this to an iconic design then charge a premium for it?

Dissapointing lighter, it seems to be a laser or etched on pattern not stamped on engraved so it feels like sandpaper also makes it hard to wipe smudges off. Something not right with it doesn't feel like a genuine zippo product, the insert feels a bit loose and it rattles, considering returning it.

nice goldenlook fancy lighter, laser ingraved

Too small. The fuel runs out (or vaporize) very fast.

Wasn't upto the mark

L'accendino è meraviglioso. L'ho preso come regalo di compleanno al mio ragazzo e sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa...me ne sono totalmente innamorata!!! sono quasi tentata a prenderne uno uguale per me 😆 Ho scelto la versione silver perché il mio ragazzo mi ha raccontato di avercelo avuto uguale e di averlo perso. È arrivato in un giorno e mezzo in un semplice pacchetto nero marchiato ZIPPO abbastanza carino. L'accendino è perfetto. Ho controllato anche sotto il coperchio perché da alcune recensioni risultava rovinato. Nel mio caso il metallo è perfetto e lucente. C'è uno spazio lasciato apposta per l'incisione (eventualmente) e credo che la farò aggiungere da un orefice. Così sarà ancora più personale come regalo. Il metallo è inciso, non disegnato come ho letto in giro. Ma l'incisione di per sé non è molto calcata. È un po' come l'incisione su vetro, per intenderci. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo
