Description from the seller

A true Holy Grail for high-end tobacco advertising and parodic Zippo collectors. This is an authentic, highly elusive Camel "Imposter" promotional Zippo lighter, manufactured in January 2002 (A 02).
Part of a famously humorous promotional campaign, the "Imposter" series features a clever twist on the classic Camel cigarette pack graphics: hidden under the original orange safety sticker on the reverse side is the famous "Imposter" Cow graphic in place of the usual camel background!
Key Features & Authenticity Details:
Bottom Stamp: Authentic Zippo logo with crisp date codes "A" (January) on the left and "02" (2002) on the right. Bradford, PA. Made in U.S.A.
Condition: NOS (New Old Stock) / Pristine Mint Condition. Unfired, never struck, and never fueled. The original bright orange warning safety sticker remains firmly attached and untampered with on the back panel, concealing the Imposter Cow detail. The brushed chrome surface and colors are in flawless condition.
Packaging: Complete with its original Zippo metal tin presentation box and black velvet tray.
Important Note: The silver magnetic display stand shown in the photographs is used strictly for presentation purposes and is NOT included in this auction.
Please examine all high-resolution photos to appreciate this unused, legendary 2002 Camel Imposter piece. Securely packed and shipped with fully insured registered tracking.
