AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and exceedingly elegant original Zippo lighter, Made in the USA, a true piece of American history for collectors. This is a special edition produced to commemorate the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, historically renowned as the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States. The case features the iconic Brushed Chrome finish, characterized by a refined horizontal satin texture that resists fingerprints and scratches exceptionally well, giving the piece a technical and classic look. The front side of the lighter hosts an intricate engraving rich in historical details and celebratory inscriptions. In the center stands the Statue of Liberty, partially highlighted with a pastel green glaze that evokes the characteristic patina of oxidized brass. The design unfolds around the large curved inscription "LIBERTY" (where the letter "I" is replaced by the statue's torch). To the left sits the engraving of the main building of "ELLIS ISLAND - GATEWAY TO AMERICA" (the gateway to America), while to the right appears the famous U.S. national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST". Towards the bottom the historical year "1986" completes the composition.
