the Trout Lighter

A small everyday carry piece crafted as a talisman of luck for your fly fishing adventures, and a companion to remind you of all the beautiful days you’ve spent on the water with these magical creatures.  

+ Brand new 1941 replica brass zippo lighter

+ Hand cut trout made from heavy gauge, hand forged reclaimed sterling silver 

+ Brushed and oxidized brass and reclaimed sterling silver with a heavy patina and a rustic, vintage texture

** Each piece is finished with a heavy bluish black patina that is hard to capture in photos. It’s like an oil slick rainbow type finish that changes in different light and with movement. 

*** Brass will naturally tarnish with regular wear, developing a beautiful patina over time. Sterling silver does the opposite, the more you wear it the less it will tarnish, or need polished. Regular wear will keep the silver on your new lighter looking bright and shiny, while the brass darkens, and a unique contrast takes shape between the two metals. 

+ All items are handmade, this means that they are not perfect and are not meant to be. Any slight irregularities are to be considered normal and a beautiful part of buying something made by hand not a machine and not a reason for dissatisfaction.
