​Lot description
​Original vintage Zippo lighter manufactured in June 1989 (marked with the letter F on the left and the Roman numeral V on the right on the base of the body).
​Features and aesthetic details:
​Custom engravings: The exterior case features a hand-done, artisanal engraving with the name "Víctor M." and, just below, the emblematic anarchist symbol (letter 'A' inside a circle).
​Original insert: The inner insert is period-correct for the lighter (marked Zippo Bradford, PA).
​Condition and operation:
​Mechanism: Requires inspection, cleaning, and tuning for optimal operation.
​Hinge: The five-barrel hinge (the 5 screws or rings of the closure) shows natural wear from use and age, with a slight misalignment or decoupling evident in some of the barrels/rings (see photos)
​Overall appearance: Shows clear signs of vintage wear, superficial marks and patina typical of the passage of time and regular use, which gives it authentic character.
​Detailed photographs of all angles, base codes, inner insert, and hinge are included to accurately assess the exact condition of the lot.
