With the help of "gold weights", gold dust was weighed on the African continent for a long time. The design of these forms, which mostly represented plants, folk wisdom or animals, was the responsibility of local artists who created wax models and then cast these into copper alloys, mostly bronze, but also brass, silver and lead. The template for this series are original bronze gold weights originating from the Ivory Coast region at the beginning of the 20th century.
Each Zippo has an individual patina and comes in a beautiful, handmade leather case! For immediate use, 1 bottle of Original Zippo Gasoline and 1 Blister Replacement Flintstones is included.
GOLDWEIGHT No.3 copper-plated
Each hart auf hart Zippo design (except the "Collab/Brands" collection) is limited to only 91 pieces!
With your Zippo you will receive a printed certificate with the handwritten serial number. The serial number is also stamped into the bottom right-hand corner of the Zippo, under the insert. At the bottom left you will find the stamped hartaufhart-signet (eye of the gorilla).
Accessories: A hand-sewn leather case (robust saddler's stitching) made of high-quality, vegetable-tanned cowhide of European origin offers the perfect protection for the Zippo. I produce the leather cases always collected in small quantities, each batch looks different in colour. Let yourself be surprised what kind of look you will get!
Also included is 1 bottle of Zippo fuel and 1 blister of replacement flints.
Product: Original Zippo storm lighter, refined by hartaufhart.
Material: Each Zippo is made of brass ex works (production in Bradford, USA) and refined by me according to the motif.
Finishing: Each Zippo is unique, one of a kind, no two will ever be the same, as each lighter is finished by hand. The design application is cast from brass, hard soldered to the brass Zippo and then electroplated with copper. The insert is made of brass-plated steel and is also copper-plated for a uniform, exceptional look.
The copper layer is not refinished and will tarnish over time and take on a look all its own depending on the intensity and type of use.
All product photos of this Zippo are sample images. Each Zippo looks a little different because the copper layer tarnishes at different rates.
