The engraved presidential message dated September 1, 1986 gives this Zippo a unique historical feel, and commemorative pieces with company-related engravings are always interesting additions to a collection. Please see the details below! [Appearance] This vintage Zippo lighter features a solid brass finish with a commemorative engraved message dated September 1, 1986.
