Zippo Collectible of the Year

Armor Facet, Zippo’s Collectible of the Year, is an innovative, windproof lighter that debuts a 360-degree multicut engraving process, as well as a new Armor Satin Chrome finish. By using this new method of engraving, the lighter can be engraved to the edge, over the edge and around the entire lighter, according to the company. The band of engraved facets wraps around the entire lighter, creating a jewel-like sparkle on the Satin Chrome finish. The famous Zippo flame icon is engraved into the right side of the lighter to add a distinctive touch. The Armor case is 1.5 times thicker than a standard Zippo windproof lighter case, allowing deeper and more detailed engraving. The Armor Facet is the latest addition to the Zippo Collectible of the Year series, which began in 1992. It has a suggested retail price of $100.
