Zippo Egyptian Gods Design Windproof Lighter, Street Chrome (49406)

The Zippo Egyptian Gods lighter (model 49406) puts three of ancient Egypt’s most recognizable deities, Anubis, Horus and Bastet, onto a genuine windproof Zippo in a Street Chrome finish. It is a real all-metal Zippo, not a novelty: the same windproof flame, the same satisfying click, and the same Zippo lifetime guarantee that has backed every Zippo since 1932. Below our Hosts break down the design, the finish, and how to keep it running for years.

The Egyptian Gods design, decoded

The 49406 uses Zippo’s color-image process to wrap the case in a richly colored panel of three Egyptian gods. Anubis, the jackal-headed god, is associated in Egyptian mythology with mummification and the afterlife. Horus, shown with a falcon head, is the sky god long tied to kingship and protection. Bastet, the cat goddess, is connected to the home, warmth and protection. Together they make this one of Zippo’s most striking mythology pieces and a favorite with collectors who like a lighter with a story on it. We describe the artwork only as it appears on the case and make no claims beyond the imagery itself.

What the Street Chrome finish looks like

Street Chrome is one of Zippo’s classic everyday silver finishes. It gives the all-brass case an understated, low-shine chrome look that hides fingerprints and everyday pocket wear far better than a high-polish finish, so it stays looking clean with minimal fuss. It is a practical, carry-it-daily finish rather than a display-case mirror shine, which is exactly why it suits a lighter you actually plan to use.

Built windproof, built to last

Every genuine Zippo earns the windproof name from its engineered windscreen and steady fuel delivery, which let the flame hold in conditions that would blow out an ordinary flame. The case is solid all-metal brass, the lid closes with the unmistakable Zippo click, and the whole lighter is covered by the Zippo lifetime guarantee. Zippo states it plainly: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If a genuine Zippo ever stops working mechanically, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, for life. We sell the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee.

Fueling, flints and wick care

This Zippo ships empty, so plan to fuel it before first use. Zippo windproof lighters are engineered to run best on Zippo premium lighter fluid. To fill it, lift the insert from the case, slowly saturate the packing until the fluid reaches the top, then wipe your hands and close the lid away from any flame. The flint is a wear item that an average user replaces every few weeks, so keep a pack of replacement flints on hand. Once or twice a year the wick darkens with carbon and the flame weakens; trim it back to clean cotton, and after a few trims swap in a replacement wick. Maintained that way, a Zippo can last decades.
