Bought a Street Chrome Zippo today but was sold to Deck after an hour. Thinking of looking for more old dated one as this was made on April 2006. The oldest Zippo I saw so far is a high polish chrome dated April 1997 which is having the Roman numeric XIII stamped at the bottom represent year 1997 belongs to Han. The sound of this Street Chrome Zippo is more crispy than my Enginee Turned.
I always wanted to have a Street Chrome Zippo since I was small, not those high polish chrome where the reflection of the surface is like a mirror. The flaw surface of Street Chrome won’t left finger print easily and the important thing is I like the classic feel of it. Imagine the cowboys in those wild west and solders at the battlefield during the world war II were using street chrome look Zippo. This may due to sylling or bullet scratched, or may resulted from those difficult living environment in the battlefield.
Taken from the history of Zippo :
The Zippo windproof lighter played an important part in World War II lore. Ernie Pyle, the legendary war correspondent, wrote: “The Zippo lighter is in great demand on the battlefield…(it) is the most coveted thing in the Army “.
