AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The turquoise-colored cabochon, heavy raised ornament and engraved scrollwork make this Zippo hard to miss. The silver-tone surface has plenty of dark patina and honest wear, which actually suits this bold customized look. Its unusual three-dimensional decoration gives bidders plenty to examine. 詳細は下記をご覧くださいませ!

[Appearance]

This is a 2012 Zippo with a heavily decorated silver-tone exterior. The case features engraved scrolling patterns across the surface, combined with a large raised ornamental centerpiece wrapping around the lower body.

At the center is an oval turquoise-colored cabochon with visible darker matrix-like markings. Its material cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The bright blue color against the aged silver-tone metal is a great combination, and the chunky raised work gives the lighter a very substantial look in the hand.

The case shows numerous scratches, rubbing, tarnish, dark patina, and general wear from previous use. Darkening and residue are particularly visible in the recessed areas of the ornament and engraving, while the turquoise-colored cabochon also shows surface marks. On the positive side, that aged contrast brings out the depth of the decoration nicely and gives the piece plenty of character.

The bottom is stamped “Zippo,” “BRADFORD, PA. MADE IN U.S.A.,” with date code “D 12.”

Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.
