Zippo 65th Anniversary Limited Edition brass lighter from the United States, in working order with a brushed finish and engraved 55 Anniversary 1932–1987 emblem, in good used condition with minor signs of aging and edge wear, includes the metal display stand and shown accessories, gas-related parts not tested and professional overhaul recommended for long-term use.
Description from the seller
The first thing that caught my eye was the calm, brushed chrome surface with its softly rounded lid edges, paired with the engraved “55 Anniversary 1932–1987” emblem that still carries a quiet dignity. There’s a gentle weight to this Zippo, and when set into its matching metal display stand, it almost feels like a small monument to everyday craftsmanship. Minor signs of use remain, but they only deepen the sense that this piece has shared time with someone’s daily life. A commemorative Zippo like this naturally draws attention at auction for its balance of history, design, and honest wear.
[Appearance]
The lighter shows surface scratches, small scuffs, and light edge wear consistent with age and careful use. The brushed chrome finish has softened over time, giving it a mellow, well-seasoned look rather than a harsh shine. The engraved anniversary emblem remains clear and legible, and the overall form is still well-balanced and pleasing in hand. The metal display stand shows wear and patina, but this adds character and a sense of period authenticity. Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.
[Functionality]
Basic ignition only confirmed.
Gas-related parts have not been tested.
Due to its vintage nature, professional overhaul is recommended for long-term use.

Please refill before use.
