AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

That warm solid brass tone and naturally aged surface really give this Zippo a proper old-school feel. The 50th anniversary engraving and commemorative layout are simple, but pieces like this always catch a collector’s eye because the patina develops beautifully over time.

[Appearance]

This Zippo features a solid brass construction with a naturally aged vintage finish.
The front is engraved with the “1932–1982 50th” commemorative design along with the original Zippo manufacturing markings, giving it a classic anniversary model appearance.

There are surface scratches, discoloration, patina, small dark spots, and edge wear from age and handling, but these signs of use blend nicely with the warm brass texture and add character to the piece.
The brushed brass surface still maintains a very attractive vintage atmosphere overall.

Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.
