good question, it seems out of thin steel sheets, but not sure exactly! |
|

| yours_truly wrong. Steel used in the manufacture of Zippo only in 1942-1945 and 1951-54 respectively. Inserts are made of chrome-plated copper simple as conventional housing models. | |

| interesting here is that - copper and brass does not react to the magnet that is magnityatsyak not him. But insert Magnets ... so what about steel version looks more plausible ... another question - is stainless steel or some sort of another? ... |

| By the way, yes, in the video of Zippo (which at first the topic) say that the insert is made of steel =) |

and unless stainless steel is not too expensive for mass production! quite possible that the stainless steel, I honestly do not know ... but somehow hard to believe ... |

| Stainless Steel - is really a bit expensive for such a production ... And the more that she does not respond to a magnet! So, I think your doubts dispelled ...)))) |

| Vladimir, can you tell me a Zippo steel produced the same kind? But as far as I know it was before 1945, that is, where are we today are not found? Thank you in advance. |

| Steel made lighter in the years 1942-1945 and another in 1951-1953. They may well be found now. However, steel or rust over time, or until it is rubbed black, and generally looks not say what is beautiful for everybody. For example:  | |

| but they are considered as vintage? ie are respectively yes! and such a question, they, by weight of the current new modley brass are not different? |
|

| Do not quite understand the question. The word "vintage" literally means "old", so that in principle any thing 60-year-old can be called "vintage." They cost no more and no less than the usual Zippo same year, that is, of course it all depends on the demand and the rarity of a particular model, but the fact that they are made of steel, no additional value it adds no. By weight, they are exactly the same, well, maybe there is a difference in a couple of grams, but I did not weigh :) | |

| Hmm ...... and in my lighter at the corners, and they wear seen that the housing is made of a yellow metal (brass or copper), and then a coating of metal red (probably copper), and the top is white (perhaps chromium) |
