motorbikesrule125. There's no problem with your camera. You are causing the camera to confuse itself because you made it focus back and forth throughout the video. Skilled RUclipsrs realized this issue early on and put his/her palm behind an object whenever they need the camera to focus on near objects.
not all Zippos got a same sound when you open it,because it made by difference as black ice - street chrome - solid brass - black matte - brush brass,the stamp pattern is different also.
Great video. I just bought a new Zippo online and mine doesn't seem to have any of the fake indications that you mention. Nevertheless, I am wondering if it is a fake or not as it has a very wobbly hinge. Is this normal for a new Zippo? I would be surprised if something like tbat would pass QC procedures. It does seem to have a thick hinge unlike the fake thin hinge that you demonstrate. It also came with a seemingly authentic box with warranty etc.. Do fakes usually come with boxes? The model is a 200 REG BRUSH FIN CHROME 31690.
Insert is identical to one that Zippo put in mine when they repaired the hinge, and I doubt that they would give me a fake insert. I have seen far too many of these videos going on about the insert and all I suggest is send it to Zippo and they will confirm on whether it is real or fake.
Okay first let me comment on the "fakeness" of that Zippo as I've used Zippos my entire adult life which is almost 11 years now.The look of it screams "ZIPPO" in my head. Everything looks very authentic for a zippo. To spot a fake zippo, you have to pay attention to the metallic "click" of the catch and the lid. Now granted there are many different styles and things that can affect the sound of it. But for the most part it is still very very distinctive. I can hear a fake zippo. It just has that specific sound to it. If it were me, I would send it to Bradford, PA. for repairs to see what they have to say... Over the years there have been very very many ways to tell the age of a zippo. The very early ones did not have markings on the bottom of them. Then they started using hashes and dots, then they started using roman numerals. The A,B,C and ect. are used for the months. A is January, B is for February and so on and so forth. Apparently, that is the system through 2020. I appreciate CSHARP for bringing that to my attention.
When did they start using the first letter of the month it was manufactured in? The Zippo website does not indicate a change like that. In fact, looking at the chart on the site, they seem to have commited to the A through L codes through 2020. www.zippo.com/about/article.aspx?id=1582
and how do you tell a real from a misprint or something. they have coins with misprint cards lots of collection items have unique markings that wasnt supposed to happen. what defines a "real zippo" n how can you tell difference of a misprint zippo or fake. ive seen videos with very very very very minor detail n said it was fake but how do you really know
how you know is fake is irrelevant some zippos are totally different like 1935 replicas: they are replicas but are Zippo true originally made from zippo . and there are class E,Z,A,C. the have different wedges spark wheel and thickness of the Shell. the only difference between a face zippo and original is the Mettal that's the only difference Zippos are brass made
B.Eduardo to me everything seems to check out on it. stainless pins not brass, 16 holes in chimney, no obvious misspellings or anything like that. the date and such checks out. to me even the click open and shut sounds good. any other things to look for?
Robert Beaudoin its most likely real, however anything can be replicated to very accurate proportions, there must be a code you can get verified to be genuine.
B.Eduardo looking on the zippo website for the date and everything it checks out. I also just read a very detailed article about what a genuine zippo consists of and it checked out there too so I'm fairly certain it's real
Dude Why ur VDO Soo blurry ..any way thank you so much ..I have been searching since last 1 year how do I know real n fake Zippo ..now I knew 90% of my Zippo are fake😠🤯 I have around 29 Zippo n there is only 3 Zippo is real one and thank you Alex for ur super nice Zippo ...may be I have to go US to buy original 😂😂
like a boss ortiz Because sometimes zippos go for more than $100 Some are silver or gold plated. Or some have really nice designs and it would be a shame if youd pay all that money to get a fake.
like a boss ortiz yeah like why would you want a BMW or a Mercedes when you can buy a cheap car ? Or why would you buy a iPhone or S8 etc. When you can buy a Nokia 3310 they both make calls yeah ?
How about making a video on "how to focus the freakin` camera"?

LOL.... oooo burn!

@@stevenkimdmd you do know that cameras dont always have automatic focusing right?
and the Gods were very angery

Too bad, the camera was out of focus almost the whole time, we can't see clearly what are you tried to teach us. :-(

also the spot welds on the insert, there is supposed to be 3 and that fake one only has 2 welds.
Thanks for this video, got mine in the mail today and determined it's probably genuine otherwise its a damn good replica.
I can't understand a word you said!
FAKE ZIPPO AND FAKE CAMERA 😂😂😂

So I just bought a zippo at hasty market does hasty market sell authentic zippos?
Very informative :) However counterfeiters keep learning to improve their fakes!

How do you tell the dates etc on zippos? Like b n stuff :)
Left hand side letter will be the month and right hand side the year eg. I 04 would be september 2014

if I bought a zippo, new from Walmart for about $13 and it came with the zippo warranty slip and everything could it still be a fake?
Robert Beaudoin yes
B.Eduardo to me everything seems to check out on it. stainless pins not brass, 16 holes in chimney, no obvious misspellings or anything like that. the date and such checks out. to me even the click open and shut sounds good. any other things to look for?
