THE HERITAGE POST logo cast in brass, soldered to the zippo and finished with a rough green/blue patina. Each Zippo is a handmade unique piece and therefore always unique.
`The Heritage Post`, the quarterly reading by publisher and designer Uwe van Afferden, has consistently developed into the leading magazine for men's culture since the first issue. What a bench. A bench with hand-carved tags, signs of wear and tear, and the mark of a work piece for eternity.
Yes, I am delighted to be asked to build the THP Zippo. You know, the last step, the patination, is still a fascinating work step for me as well, which makes every Zippo unique with a healthy portion of chance. That is why each THP Zippo has a consecutive serial number stamped on the back. You can't see it? Make an effort, use the Zippo, give it your personal characteristic and after a while your serial number will slowly show through wear of the patina!
Note: The characteristics of the patina is slightly different on every Zippo, so it will never be the same as on the photos. However, all zippos of a motif from the "Collab/Brands" collection tend to be patinated in the same look.
Each Zippo has an individual patina and comes in a gorgeous handmade leather case! For immediate use, 1 bottle of original Zippo fuel and 1 blister of replacement flints are also included.

Product:Original Zippo storm lighter, refined by hartaufhart
Material:Each Zippo is made from brass ex works (production in Bradford, USA) and refined by me depending on the motif.
Finishing:Each Zippo is unique, one of a kind, no two will ever be the same as each lighter is hand finished and individually patinated. The design application is cast from brass, hard-soldered onto the brass Zippo and then patinated. The looks of the different patinations are similar from motif to motif, but no Zippo looks like the other. For this I use well-established patination techniques from the art of sculpture, but also specially devised processes to create new, extraordinary looks. The insert is made of brass-plated steel and forms a high-gloss, elegant contrast to the patinated Zippo case.
All product photos of this Zippo are sample images. The Zippo has a green/blueish patina, possibly with a slightly black patina, but nevertheless each Zippo looks a little different (different patina and feel).
