Photo of my Zippo display at home. Some of the old ones from the Zippo catalogue 2009/20, and some of the ones we have been developing with the general distributor of the German Army since last year. On the left, with the black lines, is a brand new Brushed Chrome version of the "Medic" motif of the 09/10 series, together with the first Zippo I ever had produced back in 2006. And on the right, you have brand new Polished Chrome lighters. Including the 10 years Anniversary Edition I brought to EF last year.

Polished Chrome is a little harder to "read", as you have to aim it at a light source or brighter background in order for the motive to really show as a dark line. And it also is very prone to fingerprints, like one of these black GorillaGlass phones. But boy do they look awesome when you hold them in your hand. Still, for everyday use, I prefer the Brushed Chrome version - a "Medic" one being the one in my pocket.

20 years of Trixie Vixen, almost 10 years since the first Zippo series - how time flies.
