Every once in a while there’s a product that comes along that is so perfect in design and simplicity that attempting to improve it would be a colossal waste of time. The 1941 Zippo is one of those products. This brushed chrome replica is just as good as the original (windproof, lifetime guarantee, perfect mechanics), but it’s missing one thing—stories. Think of it like a blank canvas you get to paint your own story on.
