Description from the seller
Original Zippo - Satin finish with Geometric Engraving with Optical Illusion (Op Art Effect) - New in vintage display packaging Description: Splendid, hypnotic, and sought-after original Zippo lighter Made in USA, characterized by an avant-garde geometric design based on optical art (Op Art), ideal for brand collectors or lovers of abstract and mathematical graphics. The case stands out for its elegant metallic satin/micro-blasted finish (Satin Chrome Style), a smooth-to-the-touch and anti-reflective surface that minimizes fingerprint marks and offers excellent scratch resistance. The front face of the lighter is entirely decorated with a sophisticated and deeply precise engraved pattern. The pattern consists of a distorted geometric checkerboard in perspective: the curvature and the progressive variation in the size of squares and triangles create a striking three-dimensional spherical effect, giving the optical illusion that the metal surface is bulging and convex outward. The dense serration inside the individual sections catches and reflects light in a shimmering way depending on the angle of the object. The item is completely new, never loaded, never lit and never used. It is presented in its characteristic vintage display packaging in rigid black plastic (Lifetime Guarantee collection), with the words "USA" at the top and the official red and white Zippo logo embossed at the bottom. Naturally, the classic and unmistakable metallic "click" is present upon opening.
