AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The worn silver-tone finish, diagonal corner lines, and old-style Zippo engraving caught my eye. The heavy wear feels honest, like a lighter that actually lived in a pocket—exactly the kind of character auction buyers notice.

[Appearance]

This Zippo has a well-used silver-tone finish with visible scratches, surface wear, dark oxidation, and noticeable pitting across the case. The edges and corners also show wear from age and handling.

The front features a large decorative Zippo logo with “MADE IN U.S.A.” beneath it, plus diagonal line details at the upper-right and lower-left corners. The bottom is stamped “Zippo” and “BRADFORD, PA.”, although some details are difficult to read due to wear and corrosion.

It is certainly not a clean example, but that rough, aged surface gives it a strong vintage character that collectors often enjoy.

Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.

[Functionality]

Basic ignition only confirmed.

As this is a vintage item, an overhaul or professional maintenance is recommended for reliable long-term use.

Other functions and internal components have not been fully checked and are not covered by any guarantee.

[Accessories]

[Shipping]
