that's what I forgot something ... but from a metal insert is made =)

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

Well, we know now, I just talked with the film according to youtube.))

curious here that - copper and brass do not react to a magnet that is not magnityatsyak it. But the insert magnets ... so what about steel version looks more realistic ... another question - this stainless steel or what else? ...

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

well here!)) at least somewhere I have something right when he said!))) itself surprised))

Well, now the question will not be), stainless steel is really expensive, in my opinion!

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 would not say that is beautiful, for an amateur. 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 years, that is of course all depends on the demand and rarity particular model, but the fact that they are made of steel, no additional value it adds. 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 on my cigarette lighter in the corners, frayed and they can see that the body is made of yellow metal (brass or copper), and then coated with a red metal (probably copper), and the top has a white (probably chrome)
