That means more durable? Sooner or later, any deleted if zazhiaglkoy use every day :)

Brushed chrome probably live longest. Copper (copper and brass) potmneyut, high polich oblezet in 20 years. But brushed chrome oblezet 40 years too! :)

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? ...

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 ...))))

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:

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 :)
