Descripción del producto
The Zippo Skateboard Street Chrome lighter (model 48911) is a refillable, windproof pocket lighter featuring a skeleton skating across the case in Zippo’s vibrant Color Image print, set on a slightly distressed Street Chrome finish. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, is built in the USA on the classic solid-brass case, and carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Below are the design, the build, the guarantee, and how to find it in El Paso.
The skeleton skater design and Street Chrome finish
The front of the 48911 shows a gnarly skeleton mid-trick on a skateboard, applied with Zippo’s Color Image printing process so the artwork sits crisp and full-color on the metal. The case underneath is finished in Street Chrome, a matte, lightly distressed chrome that reads cooler and more worn-in than a high-polish lighter and tends to gain character the more you carry it. It is part of Zippo’s Color Image lineup of printed Classic-case designs, a step up in decoration from a plain brushed-chrome lighter while keeping the same pocket-friendly shape.
Built windproof, refillable, and easy to maintain
This is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter: the windscreen around the chimney shields the flame so it stays lit in wind, and the flint-wheel ignition delivers that signature Zippo click and a quick, reliable spark. The case is solid brass and the lighter is refillable for life rather than thrown away. Fuel it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, saturating the packing until the fluid just reaches the top, and never overfilling. Flints are wear items that an average user replaces every few weeks, so keep a pack of replacement flints on hand. Once or twice a year you may want to trim or fit a replacement wick as the original darkens with carbon.
Zippo's lifetime guarantee and where it is made
Every Zippo windproof lighter, including the 48911, is backed by Zippo’s unlimited lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge, with no time limit and no receipt required. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors and performs the guarantee repair. The lighter is manufactured in the USA, in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Is the skeleton skateboard design printed on the lighter, and is it on both sides?
The skeleton-skater artwork is applied with Zippo's Color Image printing process, which lays vibrant full-color graphics directly onto the metal case. On the Color Image Classic case the printed design is featured on the front of the lighter; the hinge and bottom stamp are left bare so the date stamp stays readable and the lighter performs normally.
Does the Zippo Skateboard 48911 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo windproof lighter it is sold empty because U.S. Department of Transportation rules prohibit shipping it with fuel. Before your first light, fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, saturating the packing until the fluid just reaches the top, and avoid overfilling so it does not leak.
How often do I need to replace the flint and wick?
The flint is a wear part that an average user changes roughly every few weeks, so it helps to keep replacement flints on hand. The wick darkens with carbon over time and usually only needs trimming or replacing once or twice a year; when it is worn down, fit a replacement wick.
What does the Street Chrome finish look like compared to polished chrome?
Street Chrome is a matte, lightly distressed chrome rather than a mirror polish. It looks cooler and more worn-in out of the box and tends to develop more character as you carry it, which is why it pairs well with the gritty skeleton-skater graphic.
Is this Zippo actually windproof, and how does it light?
Yes. The windscreen around the chimney shields the flame so it stays lit in wind, and the rate of fuel delivery keeps it burning where a standard lighter would blow out. It lights with a flint wheel rather than a button, giving the classic Zippo click and a fast, repeatable spark.
Who honors the lifetime guarantee if the lighter ever stops working?
The guarantee is Zippo's: it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no time limit and no receipt needed. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo performs the guarantee repair.
Sales restricted to adults 21 and older; a valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup. This Zippo windproof lighter is sold empty and contains no fuel, so add Zippo premium lighter fluid before first use. It is a refillable pocket lighter, not a vaping device and not a concealment device. Keep away from children. The lifetime guarantee is Zippo's and any repair is performed by Zippo, not by El Paso Smoke Shops.
