"The World Famous Zippo Guarantee"
Zippo Windproof Pocket Lighter
Any Zippo pocket lighter, when returned to our factory, will be put in first-class mechanical condition free of charge, for we have yet to charge a cent for the repair of a Zippo pocket lighter, regardless of age or condition. The finish, however, is not guaranteed.

I humbly stand corrected.

Many years ago, I had simply taken the word of the operator of a B&M on the Zippo warranty and never bothered to verify it for myself.

Now, if I can ever find my old zippo with the bad hinge, I'll send it in.

Thanks.
