Zippo steel lighter, original model, satin brushed chrome finish with an ivory emblem plate featuring an etched marine scene (whale tail diving and three seagulls), made in Italy, in like-new condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
This lighter is an original Zippo model characterized by a very evocative and detailed naturalistic illustration.
Design and Graphics
Subject: The decoration depicts a classic marine scene. In the foreground, the tail of a whale emerges as it dives into the ocean, while three seagulls fly in the sky among stylized clouds.
Visual Style: The drawing is rendered with a hatch etching technique, reminiscent of the old illustrations in marine biology books or vintage prints. The exclusive use of black on a light background creates a sharp, clean contrast.
Finish: The lighter’s case features a Satin Chrome or Brushed Chrome finish. The surface on which the graphic is applied seems to have a matte coating or an ivory/cream-colored emblem plate that makes the details of the engraving stand out.
