Product description
Looking for the Zippo Norman Rockwell 48987 in El Paso? Its Street Chrome case carries a full-color reproduction of the artist’s fishing scene, Two Old Men and a Dog: The Catch. Walk into your nearest El Paso Smoke Shop and pick one up the same day.
The artwork on the case
This is a collector Zippo built around a single image. The case shows Norman Rockwell’s nostalgic scene of two old men and their dog admiring the day’s catch, a warm slice of small-town Americana. Zippo reproduces it in full color (Color Image) on a mirror-like Street Chrome finish, so the illustration reads clearly against the polished metal. It is a keepsake piece as much as a working lighter, which makes it a natural gift for a fisherman, a Rockwell fan, or anyone who likes a lighter with a story.
Windproof, refillable, and stocked in El Paso
Under the art it is a genuine Zippo. The flame sits inside a chimney windscreen that shelters it, so a well-fueled lighter stays lit in wind that snuffs a normal disposable. The all-metal case opens with the classic Zippo click and refills in seconds with Zippo premium lighter fluid, sold separately. Swap the flint and wick when they wear and one lighter lasts for years, all backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. We keep it on the shelf at El Paso Smoke Shops, so check store stock, reserve online, and grab yours today.

Questions & Answers
What is the Norman Rockwell scene on the 48987?
It reproduces Norman Rockwell's beloved illustration Two Old Men and a Dog: The Catch, a nostalgic fishing scene of two elderly companions and their dog admiring the day's catch. Zippo prints it in full color on a Street Chrome case, turning a classic piece of Americana into a pocket-size collectible.
Does the Norman Rockwell 48987 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, it arrives with an empty tank because fuel cannot be shipped inside the lighter. Fill it before the first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which the wick and windscreen are built around. The fluid is sold separately and our hosts can add it to your order.
Does the Norman Rockwell Zippo stay lit in the wind?
Yes, it is genuinely wind-resistant. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney windscreen that shelters it while still feeding it air, so a well-fueled Zippo stays lit in stiff wind that would snuff a normal disposable lighter. In a strong gale any open flame can still be pushed around, so treat it as highly wind-resistant.
How do I refill and maintain the 48987?
The Rockwell Two Old Men and a Dog scene lives on the street-chrome case, untouched by refueling. Draw the insert out, turn back the felt pad, and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid to a damp level, wiping off anything extra. A faint spark means a new flint through the base screw; a low flame means threading a fresh wick up the chimney.
Is the Norman Rockwell 48987 backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the lighter's function: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, it goes to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania for repair at no charge. We sell the lighter and Zippo performs the repair. The guarantee does not cover the printed artwork, the finish, or normal scratches.
What is the Norman Rockwell case made of and where is it made?
The 48987 uses Zippo's all-brass Classic case with a bright Street Chrome finish, and it is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932. It is an all-metal lighter with the signature Zippo click, so it has real weight in the hand.
Is the Norman Rockwell Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A refillable Zippo is a standard flame lighter, legal to buy in Texas for adults. It is not a vape and not a concealment device. At El Paso Smoke Shops, sales are limited to guests 21 or older, and a valid government-issued photo ID is checked at the counter when you pick it up.
How is the Norman Rockwell 48987 different from a plain Zippo, and is it a good gift?
It makes a strong gift because it carries real artwork. A plain black or chrome Zippo works the same way, but the 48987 adds Rockwell's full-color fishing scene on a Street Chrome case and arrives gift-boxed, so it suits a fisherman, a collector, or a Rockwell fan. Ask our hosts to check store stock before you visit.
Sales restricted to guests 21 or older; valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel in the tank, so premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before the first use. Use responsibly and keep away from children.
