The photos showcase a 2008 Copper ZIPPO model. While it was originally available for around $30 at the time of release, copper has significantly increased in value, and sometimes this lighter can now trade for more than 10 times its original price.
Today, many copper-plated ZIPPO lighters are available on the market. Compared to solid copper ZIPPO lighters, these are more affordable. Opting for a copper-plated ZIPPO is a good choice for enjoying the copper look and shine at a lower price.
Due to the popularity of COPPER ZIPPOs, various types are now available, including both solid copper and copper-plated models. Some ZIPPOs are made of brass with a copper-colored finish, which can sometimes be mistaken for solid copper. When purchasing, be sure to carefully check the material and finish, in addition to the photos or appearance, to select the type you prefer.
