Zippo is the most popular brand of gasoline lighters. Despite the fact that the manufacturer Zippo itself is trying to protect its product, the modern market is simply flooded with fakes. In order not to be deceived when choosing a lighter, you should know the following methods of checking.
Instructions
Step 1
In the word Zippo, instead of a dot above the letter "i", there should be a flame. This is a registered logo and is confirmed by a circled R.
Step 2
On the bottom of the lighter there must be an inscription Made in USA. To the left of the word Zippo is the letter of the Latin alphabet, which denotes the month of release, and to the right is the number denoting the year of release.
Step 3
The windscreen should be perfectly oval and have 8 symmetrical holes.
Step 4
In genuine Zippo lighters, the flag emits a unique click with a patented plate.
Step 5
On the inner body of the lighter, in the finest print, there should be inscriptions that mean: "For best results, use Zippo silicon and fuel", and on the other side - "Keep out of the reach of children. After refueling your lighter, dry your hands. The lighter does not go out on its own, close the lid. " In fakes, you will not see such a small print, and there may be errors in the text itself.
Step 6
All engravings, drawings and emblems on the outer casing of the lighter are made at a high artistic level, this quality is achieved only with the use of Zippo technologies.
