Descripción del producto
Some Zippos are made to disappear into a pocket. The Skull and Angel Emblem (49442) is made to be noticed. A crowned skull meets a watchful angel, wrapped in roses and filigree, then set as a sculpted metal emblem on a tumbled Street Chrome case. Under the artwork it is all business: a genuine windproof Zippo that lights in the wind, refills for a lifetime, and carries the Zippo lifetime guarantee. Here is exactly what you are getting and how to keep it running.
The Skull and Angel Emblem design, decoded
The emblem is a gothic study in contrast. A crowned skull, the old symbol of mortality, is paired with an angel, while roses and delicate filigree soften the whole composition into something more ornate than grim. The artwork is not printed flat; it is a sculpted metal emblem affixed to the front of the case, so it catches the light and has real depth under your thumb. It sits in Zippo’s emblem and skull design family, the line collectors reach for when they want a lighter with a story rather than a plain finish.
What Street Chrome actually means
Street Chrome, finish code 207, is one of Zippo’s most popular looks, and it is intentionally imperfect. Introduced in 2001, the entire case is tumbled in a special media so it arrives with a random, distressed, pocket-worn texture, the faint scuffs and scratches of a lighter that looks like you have carried it for years on day one. That is the point: it is a finish you do not have to baby. Unlike high-polish chrome that shows every fingerprint, Street Chrome shrugs off everyday handling, which makes it a natural pairing for the bold emblem on the front.
A genuine windproof Zippo, built to be refilled forever
Behind the artwork is a standard Zippo windproof insert. The patented chimney design shields the flame, so it lights reliably outdoors and in wind where a cheap disposable would gutter out, and the lid opens and closes with the click Zippo owners know by feel. It is fully refillable and serviceable: a Classic-size, all-metal case you keep going for decades rather than throw away. Top it off with Zippo premium lighter fluid, keep a few replacement flints on hand, and once or twice a year fit a replacement wick. Frequent users tend to refuel about weekly and change a flint every few weeks; lighter users go far longer between top-ups.
The Zippo lifetime guarantee
Every genuine windproof Zippo is backed by the brand’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails for a mechanical reason, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it free of charge, regardless of the lighter’s age, at their Bradford, Pennsylvania clinic. El Paso Smoke Shops sells you the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee and performs the repair. That promise is a big part of why a Zippo is treated as a buy-it-once pocket tool.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What does the skull and angel emblem on the Zippo 49442 represent?
It is a gothic emblem that pairs a crowned skull with an angel, framed by roses and filigree. The crowned skull plays on the old memento-mori idea of mortality, while the angel and flowers add an ornate, almost reverent counterpoint, which gives the design its dark-but-elegant character. On the 49442 it is a sculpted metal emblem mounted on the case, not a flat print, so it has real depth and catches the light as you turn it.
Does the Zippo Skull and Angel lighter come filled with fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, the 49442 ships empty, because shipping safety regulations do not allow lighters to be sent with fuel in the tank. You add fuel yourself before the first use. Pick up a tin of Zippo premium lighter fluid when you grab the lighter and you can fill it in about a minute.
What is the Street Chrome finish, and will it scratch?
Street Chrome (finish code 207) is a chrome finish that is tumbled to look distressed and pocket-worn straight out of the box, so it already wears the random scuffs of a well-used lighter. That is intentional: because the look is meant to be lived-in, everyday handling and any new marks simply blend in instead of standing out the way they would on high-polish chrome. It is one of the easiest Zippo finishes to carry every day without worrying about it.
Is the 49442 covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
Yes. It is a genuine windproof Zippo, so it carries the brand's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If it ever fails for a mechanical reason, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free of charge at their Bradford, Pennsylvania clinic, no matter how old the lighter is. We sell the lighter here in El Paso; Zippo performs the repair.
How often do I need to refill the fluid and change the flint?
It depends on how much you use it. Everyday users usually top up the lighter fluid about once a week, since fluid also slowly evaporates even when the lid is closed, and swap the flint every few weeks. The wick only needs attention once or twice a year, and after a couple of trims you fit a replacement wick. Keeping a pack of replacement flints on hand means it is always ready to light.
Does the Zippo Skull and Angel lighter make a good gift, and does it come in a box?
Yes. The 49442 arrives in a Zippo gift box, and the sculpted skull-and-angel emblem makes it a standout present for anyone who likes gothic or collectible designs. Because it is refillable and backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee, it is the kind of gift that can last for decades. Add a tin of fluid so it is ready to light, and remember the buyer must be 21 or older with valid ID.
This is a refillable windproof pocket lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty: no fuel is included, in line with shipping safety regulations, so add Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first use. You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. Availability varies by store, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location has it in stock.
