AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This gold-tone Zippo has a raised silver-tone Moai design, engraved lettering, and plenty of honest edge wear. I always like this mix of texture and daily-use marks, and the bold Easter Island motif gives it strong auction appeal.

[Appearance]

The lighter has a gold-tone finish with a raised silver-tone Moai figure on the front, decorative engraved lettering above it, and “MOAI” with No.0429 below. Fine scratches, surface wear, discoloration, and finish loss are visible, especially around the edges, corners, and base. That said, the worn gold and exposed silver-toned areas give the piece a nicely aged, tactile look that suits this design very well.

The bottom is stamped with the Zippo logo, “BRADFORD, PA. MADE IN U.S.A.,” A and XII markings.

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 long-term use. Other functions and the internal condition have not been fully checked and are not guaranteed.

[Accessories]

Everything shown in the photos is included.

Flint and gas will be removed before shipping.
Please refill before use.

[Shipping]

The item will be carefully packed and shipped internationally by FedEx or a similar tracked courier service.

Import duties, taxes, and customs fees vary depending on the destination country and are the responsibility of the buyer. Please check your local customs regulations before bidding.
