The category "World War II" Zippo is defined broadly here. Officially, the World War II Zippo was the 1942-45 Black Crackle Zippo. Due to materials shortage during the war, Zippo had to use the more porous metal steel instead of brass, and the lighter could not be finished with chrome or nickel. Instead, it was covered with a special black crackle paint. A benefit of this finish is that it would not reflect the light, thereby avoiding the attention of enemy snipers. The paint, while baked on, tended to become brittle and chip off, giving the Zippo a rugged look. The tradition from WWI of decorating lighters with coins and crude engravings, or "trench art" continued on the Zippo in World War II. Some of these decorated lighters were pre-war Zippos, including the 1940-41 brass Zippos with and without diagonal lines as well as earlier models. The vast majority of the lighters from 1936-1945 can be easily recognized by the rounded corners and absence of the post-1946 "canned" bottom. The bottoms are flat or protrude outwards in varying degrees even to the point that the Zippo will not stand upright on a flat surface.
