The joker who tips his hat

The artwork on the 29632 is a skeleton joker in a tailored suit and top hat, caught mid-bow as he tips his hat in salute. It’s a playful, slightly macabre piece that reads as a gambler’s wink rather than anything grim. The pose makes it a natural pick for Guests who collect character and skull-themed Zippos, or who just want a pocket lighter with personality. Because the figure is rendered in bronze against a flat black ground, the detail stands out clearly in the hand and under light.

How the bronze design is made

This is a Laser Engrave (Armor-style bronze engrave) piece. Zippo starts with a Black Matte case, then a laser burns away the matte coat in the shape of the artwork to expose the bronze-toned brass beneath. The contrast you see is the bare metal showing through, not paint or a printed sticker. Laser engraving on brass is permanent and resists fading, chipping, and rubbing off through years of everyday carry, so the joker looks as sharp after hundreds of lights as it did new.

Built like a Zippo, refillable for life

Underneath the finish it’s a genuine Zippo: an all-metal Classic case, the signature windproof chimney, and that distinct Zippo click on open and close. The windproof design is engineered to light reliably in challenging conditions when fueled with Zippo premium lighter fluid. It is refillable for a lifetime of use, and the wearable parts are user-serviceable: keep a card of replacement flints on hand for dependable sparks, and swap in a replacement wick when the old one chars down. This is a flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device.

Fuel, fills, and care

The 29632 arrives empty for safe shipping, so you’ll add fuel before first use. To fill it, lift the insert from the case, raise the felt pad, and slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until it reaches the top of the packing, then wipe the lighter and your hands dry before lighting. A full fill lasts up to about two weeks with regular use; lighter fluid evaporates over time even when idle, so top off before you head out. When sparks weaken, replace the flint; when the flame gets short or sooty, change the wick.

A gift-boxed collector's piece

The Joker ships in a Zippo gift box, which makes it an easy present for a Zippo collector or anyone who likes a bit of character on their everyday carry. As a US-market-compliant Zippo built at the Bradford, Pennsylvania factory, it carries the same lifetime guarantee as the rest of the line. We sell and stock the 29632 here in El Paso; if it ever fails mechanically, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free.
