AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare and highly collectible advertising piece for tobacco memorabilia and vintage Zippo enthusiasts. This is an authentic Camel "Das Original." promotional Zippo lighter, manufactured in December 1991 (L VII) for the German market.
Released as part of an exclusive early 1990s European campaign, the lid prominently features the German slogan "Das Original." above the iconic Camel pack graphics (the camel, pyramids, and palm trees). Regional language promotional Zippos from the early 90s are significantly harder to find than their standard counterparts.
