Description from the seller
Zippo lighter - Matte Grey - Special Edition "Nave Scuola Amerigo Vespucci" - With original US vintage display stand
Object Description
Up for auction is an exceptional and highly sought-after Zippo lighter, original Made in USA, a piece of great interest to Italian and international collectors of maritime and military memorabilia. The front panel is beautifully decorated with a precise and detailed color illustration dedicated to the Training Ship "Amerigo Vespucci", the historic sailing vessel and icon of the Italian Navy. The design shows the majestic sailing ship in navigation with all sails set, rendered in warm brown, beige and white tones that contrast perfectly with the background color. At the top sits the elegant cursive inscription "Nave Scuola Amerigo Vespucci", topped by a small Italian tricolor flag. On the right side is the official imprint "Printed by Zippo", attesting to its factory-original decoration. The metal case features a refined Matte Grey finish, smooth and anti-glare. The lot includes its rare vintage black rigid plastic vertical display stand with raised gold lettering "Zippo U.S.A. Lighter" at the top and "Lifetime Guarantee" on the base.
