The Black Cat and Moon, and What the Design Means

The 48453 features a black cat with glowing yellow eyes set against a blood-red and black backdrop, with a red moon overhead. The black cat is a centuries-old symbol of good fortune, which is a big part of why this design is a favorite with cat lovers and Zippo collectors. The artwork wraps the front of the case in deep reds and inky blacks, so the cat’s yellow eyes read as the focal point even at a glance.

Color Image Finish on a Black Matte Case

Zippo’s Color Image is a state-of-the-art printing process that lays down multiple colors and full-color, photographic-style artwork with a glossy, semitransparent look. On the 48453 it sits over a black matte case, so the glossy print pops against the flat, low-sheen background. The result is a high-contrast finish that shows off the red-and-black palette without the glare of a polished chrome lighter.

Built Windproof and Refillable for Life

This is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter, built around a solid brass Classic case. The windscreen around the wick plus Zippo’s steady fuel delivery keep the flame burning in wind and breeze, so it lights reliably outdoors. It is refillable for a lifetime: fill the cotton batting with Zippo premium lighter fluid, swap the replacement flints every few weeks for an average user, and trim or fit a replacement wick once or twice a year as it darkens with use. Like every Zippo, the 48453 ships empty for shipping safety, so add fuel before the first strike.

The Zippo Lifetime Guarantee, Honored by Zippo

Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo’s unlimited lifetime guarantee, summed up in the trademarked line “it works or Zippo fixes it free.” If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free at their Bradford, Pennsylvania repair clinic, where Zippo has been making lighters since 1932. We sell the lighter here at El Paso Smoke Shops; Zippo is the company that honors the guarantee and performs the free repair.
