Zippo American Lady Design Frequency Windproof Lighter (48916) in El Paso

The Zippo American Lady Frequency lighter (48916) is a classic-size, windproof, refillable pocket lighter that turns the Statue of Liberty into pop art. The design is printed onto the bright hot-pink Frequency finish using Zippo’s Color Image process, and like every Zippo windproof lighter it carries the brand’s lifetime guarantee. It ships empty and runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, which is sold separately. Below is what the design means, how the lighter works, and what you need to keep it lit.

A Pop-Art Lady Liberty on the Hot-Pink Frequency Finish

This is Zippo’s Americana take on a national icon. The Statue of Liberty gets an abstract, Warhol-style pop-art treatment in vivid color, a nod to liberty and the American spirit reimagined as street art. The artwork sits on Zippo’s Frequency case, an unmistakable hot-pink finish that Zippo pairs with its Color Image printing process so the multi-color graphic stays sharp and saturated across the brass case. The result is a loud, collectible look that reads as both patriotic and playful, and it is one of the more eye-catching pieces in the Americana collection.

Genuine Windproof, Built to Be Refilled for Life

Every Zippo earns the windproof name through its design, not a gimmick: a perforated windscreen chimney surrounds the wick and channels airflow so the flame holds in a breeze where a disposable lighter would blow out. You get the signature all-metal build and the distinctive lid click. Because it is refillable, this is a lighter you keep, not one you throw away. Zippo manufactures its windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and backs them with the Zippo lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no receipt and no time limit. That covers the mechanism, not the artwork, so the printed design, plating, and any scratches are cosmetic and not part of the repair. If the lighter ever stops working, you send it to Zippo’s Repair Clinic in Bradford and they repair it free.

What You Need to Keep It Lit (Sold Separately)

For safety this lighter ships empty, so you fuel it before the first use. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid: lift out the insert, slowly saturate the packing, stop before it overflows, and wipe your hands before lighting. Fluid evaporates over time even when the lid is closed, so top it off before a night out. The flint sparks the flame and wears down with use, so most users keep replacement flints on hand and swap one in every few weeks. The wick darkens with carbon over months and eventually needs a replacement wick after a few trims. With fluid, a flint, and a wick, a Zippo can stay in service for decades.
