Product description
The Zippo Poker Chip with Cherries (model 48905) is a genuine windproof, refillable lighter on a black matte brass case, finished with a metallic emblem of two lucky cherries resting on a poker chip. It runs on premium lighter fluid, is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. It ships empty, so fuel is bought separately, and it is sold to guests 21 and older with valid ID.
The Poker Chip with Cherries Design
The 48905 wears a stamped metallic emblem of two cherries resting on a poker chip, the classic good-luck symbol borrowed from slot machines and casino tables. The bright metal badge is attached to a flat black matte case, and that contrast of shine against dark is what gives this model its character. Cherries have long stood for a winning pull and good fortune in gaming, which makes this a favorite pick for poker players, collectors, and anyone who likes carrying a little luck in their pocket.
Windproof by Design
Every genuine Zippo uses the same windproof flint-wheel mechanism. Spin the wheel against the flint, the wick catches, and the metal chimney shields the flame so it holds steady in wind that would blow out a disposable. The all-metal case opens and closes with the signature Zippo click. This model does not self-extinguish, so you snap the lid shut to put the flame out, which also slows fuel evaporation between uses.
Refilling and Everyday Care
This lighter is refillable for life. Lift the insert out of the case, raise the felt pad, and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, then stop once the fuel reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak. With regular use the flint wears down every few weeks, so it helps to keep a pack of replacement flints on hand. The wick lasts much longer, but after a couple of trimmings it eventually needs a replacement wick. Keeping it filled and the wick trimmed is all the upkeep a Zippo asks for.
Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Zippo backs the mechanism with its famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the lighter ever stops sparking or holding fuel, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and Zippo repairs the working parts at no charge, no matter how old the lighter is. The guarantee covers function, not cosmetics, so Zippo does not refinish the matte paint or restore the decorative emblem. We sell the lighter here at El Paso Smoke Shops, and Zippo honors the repair.

Questions & Answers
Does the Zippo Poker Chip with Cherries lighter come filled with fluid?
No. This Zippo ships empty, because lighter fuel cannot be shipped inside the lighter, so you fill it before the first use. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, sold separately. Lift the insert, saturate the packing, and it is ready to light. Sold to guests 21 and older with valid ID.
What do the cherries and poker chip on the 48905 mean?
The emblem shows two cherries resting on a poker chip, a classic gambling good-luck symbol. Cherries are a winning slot-machine combination, so the design reads as a lucky lighter and is a favorite with poker players and collectors. It is a stamped metallic badge attached to the black matte case.
Is this Zippo actually windproof?
Yes. Like every genuine Zippo, the 48905 uses a windproof flint-wheel mechanism and a metal chimney that shields the flame, so it holds a steady flame in wind that would blow out a disposable. Keep in mind it does not self-extinguish, so close the lid to put the flame out.
How often do I replace the flint and wick on a Zippo?
With regular use the flint wears out every few weeks, so it helps to keep replacement flints on hand. The wick lasts much longer; you trim it once or twice a year and install a replacement wick after a couple of trimmings or when it stops lighting cleanly. Both swap out by hand in a minute.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the working mechanism: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If it ever stops sparking or holding fuel, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and Zippo repairs the function at no charge at any age. The guarantee does not cover cosmetics, so the matte finish and decorative emblem are not refinished.
