What do the letters on the bottom of a Zippo lighter mean

If you go to this site you can get a full explanation, but basically the stamp on the bottom tells you the month, year and patent number. I had heard a fictitious story at one point that the higher the number on the bottom, the better the lighter was in regard to actual lighting (i.e. if you had a high number you could light your lighter in a gale force wind, but if you had a low number you couldn't) but that is obviously not true. Hope this site gives you more info!!

Usually u will see I or II or III.

I used to collect Zippo lighters and I noticed an odd thing about them. Ca not remember in which order, but they actually have a different ''ping'' sound when u flip open the lighter. Eg, those marked I has a duller ''ping'' and those marked III has a higher pitched ''ping''.

Anyway those are only my observations.
