Product description
The Zippo Navy Blue Matte Windproof Lighter (239) is a full-size, refillable brass lighter with a clean, design-free navy blue matte finish. It delivers the windproof flame and lifetime-guaranteed mechanism Zippo is known for, in a low-key color that hides fingerprints and everyday handling. We sell it here at El Paso Smoke Shops, so check the live availability on this page to see which of our El Paso stores has it in stock.
A clean navy matte with no design
Model 239 is the plain Navy Blue Matte Classic: a solid color with no logo or artwork, finished in a smooth matte coating with a lasered hinge and bottom stamp. The matte surface is the practical pick for daily carry because it resists fingerprints and hides smudges and handling marks far better than a chrome or polished-brass case, and it is less prone to showing fine scratches. It is not scratchproof, so a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner keep it looking sharp. The full-size Classic case measures 2.25 in tall, 1.5 in deep, and just 0.5 in wide, so it sits flat and slim in a pocket.
The windproof flame that built the reputation
Inside the brass Classic case is the all-metal insert and windproof chimney that let a Zippo light and stay lit in wind and outdoor conditions where a disposable struggles. Flick the lid for the unmistakable Zippo click, run the flint wheel, and the chimney shields the flame. There is no butane and no electronics here: it is a flint-and-wick lighter built around a fuel-soaked cotton packing, the same mechanism Zippo has refined since the 1930s.
Fuel and upkeep: built to refill, not replace
This is a refillable lighter, not a disposable, and it ships empty of fuel for safe shipping. Before first use, fill it with a quality fuel such as Zippo premium lighter fluid, saturating the cotton packing and stopping before it overflows. Fluid evaporates over time even when the lighter sits unused, so a quick top-off before a night out keeps it reliable. Two consumable parts keep it going for years: the flint, which an average user changes every few weeks, and a replacement wick when the tip eventually chars down. To be clear, this is a flame lighter for tobacco use, not a vape and not a concealment device, and lighter fluid is flammable, so fill and store it away from open flame.
Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The guarantee covers the mechanical function, so if the lighter ever stops sparking or lighting, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free; cosmetic wear to the finish is not part of the guarantee. We sell the lighter and stand behind that it is the genuine article; Zippo is the party that honors the repair.

Questions & Answers
Does the navy blue matte finish on the 239 show fingerprints or scratch easily?
The matte finish is the practical choice for handling. It resists fingerprints and hides smudges far better than a chrome or polished-brass Zippo, and it is less prone to showing fine scratches from pocket carry. It is not completely scratchproof, so clean it with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to keep the navy matte looking sharp.
Does the Zippo 239 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Zippo windproof lighters ship empty for safe shipping, and this one is no exception. Before first use, fill the cotton packing with a quality fuel and let it absorb, stopping before it overflows. Keep fuel and the filling step away from any open flame, since lighter fluid is flammable.
How often do I need to replace the flint, and what flints fit the 239?
An average user replaces the flint roughly every few weeks, depending on how often the lighter is used. Use genuine Zippo flints for the best spark; you can pick up replacement flints to keep on hand. Changing one takes a minute: back out the spring screw at the base, drop in the new flint, and re-seat the spring.
Can I take a Zippo 239 on a plane?
TSA allows one empty Zippo-style lighter in your carry-on or on your person. Fueled lighters are not allowed in checked bags except under a specific exemption, and you cannot pack containers of lighter fluid. Since this lighter ships empty anyway, the simplest approach is to travel with it empty and fill it once you land.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee actually cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the mechanical function: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the lighter ever stops sparking or lighting, you send it to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. The guarantee covers how the lighter works, not how it looks, so normal cosmetic wear to the matte finish is not included. We sell the genuine lighter; Zippo honors the repair.
Is the 239 a refillable lighter, and how often does it need fuel?
Yes, it is fully refillable and built to last for years rather than be thrown away. Lighter fluid slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so heavy users may refill weekly and occasional users about monthly. Keeping the lid closed slows evaporation, and a quick top-off before you head out keeps it dependable.
