Description from the seller
Zippo - US Army Great Seal Emblem - Black Matte Finish - With original USA display case
On auction, a splendid, solid and fascinating original windproof lighter by Zippo Manufacturing Company, dedicated to the official and historic symbols of the United States armed forces: the model "US Army Great Seal Emblem" (Great Seal of the United States) on a matte base. Unlike the classic metal versions, this model features the refined and elegant Black Matte case, a powder-coated finish very pleasant to the touch and fingerprint resistant. The front panel is enriched by the application of a detailed three-dimensional metallic emblem with a glossy gold finish. The crest faithfully reproduces the Great Seal of the United States of America, used also as the official insignia of the US Army: the American bald eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch, protected by the central heraldic shield and topped by the glory of stars. The color contrast between the gold of the emblem and the deep black of the case gives the item an extraordinary visual impact. A piece with strong collectible character, ideal to enrich military (Militaria) and American institutional-themed collections, or as a sturdy and refined everyday accessory."
