Identification method of genuine ZIPPO

1, Hinge: Except for the four joints in the 194 1 replica series, the hinges of 1950 up to now are all five joints, 2 wide and 3 narrow, which are closely coordinated. Although the imitations are also five segments, they are all the same size and arranged according to evacuation.

2. Mars wheel: ZIPPO's Mars wheel has a diamond cross pattern, with the upper layer inclined from right to left and the lower layer inclined from left to right, with clear texture. The imitation has only one layer of texture or the texture is unclear.

3. Undercut: The undercut strokes of genuine ZIPPO are smooth and neat in the middle, with the registration mark R produced after April 2005 in the upper right corner, while the imitation is illegible, rough and irregular in letters.

4, flame: the flame of the imitation is flickering, and the whole fuselage will burn in less than four minutes, while the genuine will not ignite the fuselage until the fuel consumption is exhausted.

5. Rivets: The rivets at the ignition wheel source and cam of genuine ZIPPO liner are silver-white, while the imitation will be yellow.
