Description from the seller

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