Zippo Steampunk King of Spades Windproof Lighter, Street Chrome (29877)

The Zippo Steampunk King of Spades (model 29877) takes the classic windproof Zippo case and wraps it in a steampunk reimagining of the king of spades, a regal figure hand-drawn in pen and ink, raising a sword wrapped in flame. Our Hosts stock and handle this lighter across El Paso Smoke Shops, and the bottom line is simple: it is a genuine, refillable, windproof Zippo in a bright Street Chrome finish, backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. It arrives empty and is ready for premium lighter fluid, sold separately.

The Steampunk King of Spades Artwork

In a traditional deck the King of Spades is the bearded warrior-king, long tied to King David and pictured with a sword, a symbol of authority, resolve, and mastery over hardship. The 29877 reworks that figure in a steampunk register: gears, ornament, and a sword crowned with flame. The artwork was first hand-drawn in pen and ink, then digitally transferred so its layered shading and fine detail survive into Zippo’s full-color Color Image print process. The result is a graphic with real depth rather than a flat decal, set against the cool mirror of the Street Chrome case. It reads as a statement piece for collectors of card-suit and steampunk designs.

Street Chrome Finish and Genuine Zippo Build

The 29877 is built on Zippo’s Classic case in solid brass with a Street Chrome finish, a lightly tumbled chrome that has a brushed, slightly matte chrome look rather than a high-polish mirror. Inside is the same windproof mechanism Zippo has refined since 1933: a flint wheel that throws a spark into fuel-soaked packing, with a windscreen and chimney that keep the flame burning in a breeze. Every lighter is manufactured by Zippo at its plant in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The case is the standard 1.5 by 0.5 by 2.25 inch Classic size that drops into a pocket, and it carries the unmistakable Zippo click when the lid snaps shut.

Fueling, Flints, and Wick Care

Like every Zippo, the 29877 ships empty, so it needs fuel before its first light. Lift the felt pad, saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until the cotton is full but not dripping, then reassemble and let any surface fluid dry. Keep the lid closed when not in use, since the fluid evaporates over time. The flint is a wear part for an average user it lasts a few weeks, and you swap it by unscrewing the spring at the base and dropping in fresh replacement flints. Once or twice a year the wick darkens with carbon and the flame weakens; pull it up with tweezers until clean fiber shows and trim it level with the chimney, and after a few trims fit a replacement wick. Maintained this way, a single Zippo lasts for decades.
