Object Description
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 splendidly decorated with a careful and detailed color illustration dedicated to the training ship "Amerigo Vespucci", the historic tall ship and icon of the Italian Navy. The design shows the majestic vessel sailing with all sails unfurled, rendered in warm tones of brown, beige, and white that contrast perfectly with the background color. At the top stands the elegant cursive inscription "Nave Scuola Amerigo Vespucci", crowned by a small Italian tricolor flag. On the right side is the official wording "Printed by Zippo", attesting to its original factory decoration. The metallic body features a refined Matte Grey finish, smooth and anti-reflective. The lot includes its rare and vintage vertical display stand made of black rigid plastic with the gold-relief inscriptions "Zippo U.S.A. Lighter" at the top and "Lifetime Guarantee" on the base.
