This Black Crackle Lighter is a replica of the lighters made during WWII.
During the war, Zippo used black crackle paint due to material shortage. The advantage of the black crackle finish was that it didn’t reflect the light and avoided the attention of enemies.
The black crackle finish has a rugged look. It is scratch and slip resistant. The black crackle lighter may be one of the reasons that Zippo became very popular after the war.
