AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Thank you for taking a look! What immediately draws the eye is the elegant framed engraving on the chrome surface, softly highlighted with gold-tone accents, and the delicate standing figure motif that feels almost classical in its restraint. The numbered plate “No.0485” sits quietly at the center, giving a sense of calm confidence rather than loud celebration. Opened, the lid reveals the familiar Zippo structure with honest signs of use, suggesting this piece once lived close at hand rather than sealed away. It’s the kind of limited edition that gains attention at auction not through rarity alone, but through its balanced design and lived-in charm. Please take a moment and enjoy the details below!

[Appearance]
The body shows surface scratches, small scuffs, and areas of finish wear consistent with age and regular handling, especially visible on the engraved front and edges. Some discoloration and patina can be seen around the insert and inner surfaces, which adds to the vintage character. On the positive side, the engraved frame, figure motif, and numbering remain clear and legible, and the overall shape is solid with no major dents. The chrome still reflects light gently, retaining an appealing presence.
Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.

[Functionality]
Basic ignition only confirmed.
Due to its vintage nature, professional servicing is recommended for long-term use.
Other functions have not been tested and are not guaranteed.

[Accessories]
Everything shown in the photos is included.
For international shipping, flint and gas will be removed before shipping.
Please refill before use.

[Shipping]
This item will be shipped via an international courier service such as FedEx with tracking and insurance.
Shipping costs depend on destination, and customs duties or import taxes may apply according to your country’s regulations.
