Product description
The Zippo Ladybug Design windproof lighter (model 48724) pairs a genuine Zippo flame with a charm-filled Color Image scene: a lucky ladybug resting on a mushroom, framed by clovers and a shooting star, all printed on a smooth Black Matte case. It is all-metal, refillable, and covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Below is everything our Hosts get asked about this lighter, from what the symbols mean to how to keep it lit for decades.
A Pocketful of Good Luck
Every element on this case is a classic luck symbol. The ladybug has long stood for good fortune, the mushroom and four-leaf clovers add a wistful fairy-tale touch, and the shooting star invites a wish. Zippo prints the scene with its Color Image process, a full-color graphic laid over a Black Matte finish that resists fingerprints and reads as a soft, deep dark tone in the hand. The result is playful but durable, which is why Guests pick it up as a good-luck gift, a birthday surprise, or a collectible for ladybug fans.
Built Windproof, Made to Last
This is a true Zippo windproof lighter, not a novelty. The shielded chimney protects the flame so it stays lit on a windy porch or out at a campsite, and you get the unmistakable Zippo lid snap and click every time. The case is solid all-metal brass, the same construction Zippo has built in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932. It is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee, it works or Zippo fixes it free. That guarantee covers the mechanism such as the flint wheel, hinge, and cam. It does not cover the printed artwork or everyday surface wear, so the lucky design is yours to enjoy and patina over time.
Fuel and First Light
Like every Zippo, this lighter ships empty for safe shipping, so it will not spark until you fuel it. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, sold separately. To fill it, lift the insert out of the case, raise the felt pad, saturate the packing material, and stop once the fuel reaches the top of the packing so it does not leak. Wipe your hands and the lighter dry before lighting, then drop the insert back in. Lighter fluid slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so keep the lid closed and top it off before a night out.
Simple Lifetime Care
Consumable parts are normal wear, not a defect, and they are easy to swap yourself. When the spark weakens, fit a fresh flint: back out the spring screw at the base of the insert, drop in a new genuine flint, and screw the spring back lightly. Keep a pack of replacement flints on hand so you are never caught without a light. If the wick darkens and stops drawing fuel cleanly, gently pull it up with pliers and trim the charred tip. With fresh fuel, flint, and wick, this case keeps lighting for a lifetime.

Questions & Answers
What do the ladybug, mushroom and shooting star on this Zippo mean?
They are all classic good-luck symbols. The ladybug represents good fortune, the mushroom and clovers add a whimsical fairy-tale touch, and the shooting star is the one you make a wish on. Zippo arranges them in a single Color Image scene on the Black Matte case, which is why the 48724 reads as a lucky-charm lighter and a popular good-luck gift.
Does the Zippo Ladybug lighter come with fuel?
No. Like all Zippo windproof lighters, the 48724 ships empty for safe transport and will not spark until you fuel it. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which is sold separately, before your first light. Lighter fluid evaporates slowly over time, so keep the lid closed and refuel before heavy use.
Is the 48724 Ladybug Zippo refillable, and how do I fill it?
Yes, it is fully refillable and designed to be used for a lifetime. To fill it, lift the metal insert out of the case, raise the felt pad inside, and saturate the packing material with Zippo fluid. Stop once the fuel reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak, then wipe everything dry before you light it and slide the insert back into the case.
What does the Zippo lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the working mechanism, such as the flint wheel, hinge, and cam: it works or Zippo fixes it free. It does not cover the printed ladybug artwork, engravings, or normal surface scratches, and routine consumables like fuel, flints, and wicks are not considered defects. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo's repair clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and they repair it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee.
How do I replace the flint or wick when it stops sparking?
Both are easy at-home fixes and count as normal wear. For the flint, unscrew the spring at the base of the insert, drop a fresh flint into the tube, and reseat the spring screw lightly. For the wick, pull the insert out, gently lift the old wick with pliers, and trim the charred tip so it draws fuel cleanly again. Keep genuine flints and a replacement wick on hand so your Zippo is always ready.
Can I fly with this Zippo lighter?
An empty Zippo with no fuel or vapor inside is allowed in both carry-on and checked bags under current TSA rules. A fueled lighter is limited to one on your person or in your carry-on and is not permitted in checked luggage, and you cannot pack containers of lighter fluid. The screening officer always has the final say, so the safest move for travel is to fly with the lighter completely empty.
Must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a windproof, refillable pocket lighter for legal smoking and utility use, not a vape, e-cigarette, or concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel inside; Zippo premium lighter fluid is sold separately and required before first use. Zippo's lifetime guarantee is provided and serviced by Zippo, not by El Paso Smoke Shops. Keep away from children; use and store fuel responsibly.
