Description from the seller
Original Zippo - Special Edition "IL VELIERO" - High Polish Chrome finish with Engravings - New in vintage display packaging
Description
Splendid, rare and elegant original Zippo lighter Made in USA, featuring official graphic customization in Italian titled "IL VELIERO". A piece of great interest for brand collectors, maritime memorabilia enthusiasts, nautical fans, or vintage collecting.
The case stands out for the classic High Polish Chrome finish (mirror-bright chrome), adorned on the front side with a series of elegant vertical lines etched across the entire surface of the lighter.
At the center of the case stands the main graphic emblem: an oval medallion with a gold border that contains the detailed illustration of an ancient three-masted sailing ship with sails set sailing on the sea, against a blue sky background.
Just below the medallion unfolds a gold heraldic cartouche bearing the inscription "IL VELIERO", completed at the bottom by the official wording "by Zippo".
The item is completely new, never loaded, never lit and never used.
It is presented inside its characteristic and sought-after vintage display packaging in rigid black plastic (Lifetime Guarantee collection), with raised gold lettering that attest its authenticity and preserve its pristine condition.
Naturally, the classic and unmistakable metallic click upon opening is present, a factory symbol of the brand.
