AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage Zippo lighter with American Eagle and USA flag engraving

A distinctive Zippo windproof lighter featuring a detailed engraved American bald eagle flying in front of the Stars and Stripes, with the inscription “Since 1932” beneath the design. The lighter has a classic rectangular metal case with a gold-tone/brass-coloured finish and comes together with a vintage black leather protective pouch.

The engraving is particularly attractive and gives the lighter a strong American patriotic/mid-century character. Zippo has produced its iconic windproof lighters since 1932.

Condition: Used vintage condition, with visible scratches, surface wear, patina and areas of discolouration consistent with age and use. The leather pouch also shows considerable wear. Please examine the photographs carefully.

Functionality: Not tested; therefore, ignition and fuel retention are not guaranteed.

* Brand: Zippo
* Type: Windproof petrol lighter
* Design: American Eagle / USA flag
* Inscription: “Since 1932”
* Material: Metal, with gold-tone/brass-coloured finish
* Accessories: Vintage leather pouch
* Condition: Used, with age-related wear
* Period: Late 20th century / circa 1990s–2000s (exact date should ideally be confirmed from the bottom stamp)

Important: “Since 1932” refers to the founding of Zippo and does not mean the lighter itself dates from 1932. Zippo date codes on the base can establish the actual production year.
