03:36 - 03:48 : Needs correction. The dates of the inserts and case don't always match.

[Birlius]

Case and insert date stamps more often than not do not match i.e. having different months of manufacture due to them being produced at different times and put together at random

[texasrattler]

I have one comment about your statement about the date engravings needing to be the same on the insert and the case. According to the zippo website it is actually rare to have this be the case since inserts and cases are manufactured separately and are paired up randomly.

[Charley-Mike]

There is so many false "information" in this video, I don't know where to start. E. g. the colour of the flints, or the different date stamps on case and insert. Also the text that is stamped on the insert. There are many different versions on different Zippos.
And there are some real differences that are not noticed. No word about the completely different hinge lock, even the flint screw on the red lighter is diffenrent, that is clearly visible in the video.
Sorry, but this video is useless, especially for people that are not familiar with Zippos.

[euclidera]

3:00 is incorrect, not all Zippo mechanisms have that bulge. I know for a fact 1998 Zippos do not have it, and probably there are Zippos from other years that don't have it too.

[madarauchiha]

So the dates of the inserts and case don't always match. I've had a couple that I bought new in a store and the insert was off by a year. So that's not always an example of being a fake

[OnTheRiver]

Older lighters do not have the bulge on the insert.

I was hoping to see an actual fake Zippo attempting to be an authentic Zippo. This is just a knock off company that made their own lighter similar to Zippo, being called a fake. Nowhere on the lighter does it seem to be trying to come off as a Zippo. It's just a cheap lighter that you can find in any and all truckstops. I regret giving this a view.

[davidadkins]

My zippo, has two different markings, the bottom of the case has L 14, the inside mechanism has A 15, what does that mean?

[DrRawBalls_TheDummy]

I just got a vintage brushed brass zippo on Amazon and don’t see the R anywhere on the bottom like my other zippos is this fake or bc it’s vintage bc when looking at the reviews I didn’t see anyone saying it’s a fake.. sorry I’m just getting into zippos

[davidgamble-ft]

I've got a carreras guards zippo lighter with japan stamped on its base. Is it real?.what's its worth

[oldfart]

Yeappers you can spot a zippo knockoff, it's NOT a forgery or from a company making zippo fakes, it's a company making it's own version of a wicked lighter.
This like saying Honda makes fake cars because they aren't the first car manufacturer. so what is your next video going to be, spot the fake Ronson lighter?
There lighters look a lot like zippo's too.

[benjimolly]

No offense but pointless. An authentic Zippo will have the zippo trademark on the bottom of the case. That's all you need to know. Zippos come in a lot of shapes and sizes so you can't go by that.

[mr.fwenchfwy]

So I just bought a zippo at hasty market does hasty market sell authentic zippos?

[afiqjasniLfc]

Many wrong info bro the legit one case n inside not same latter bro...date are totally diffrent not the same either for the ori's.

[mohdfirdausabdullah]

u forgot about sound while opened the cap

[jaywolf]

I’ve never seen a bulge on the inside of any zippo lighters..?…!..?

[crimson_tide_edc]

Some of the points are not correct due to the steel case zippos

[skyhookspirits]

Who buys a Zippo when Zorro lighters are much better made?

[RoyAsastha]

Not all Original Zippo's has bulge in their inlets...
