Vintage Zippo lighter with American Eagle and USA flag engraving A distinctive Zippo windproof lighter featuring a detailed engraved American bald eagle flying in front of the Stars and Stripes, with the inscription “Since 1932” beneath the design. The lighter has a classic rectangular metal case with a gold-tone/brass-coloured finish and comes together with a vintage black leather protective pouch. The engraving is particularly attractive and gives the lighter a strong American patriotic/mid-century character. Zippo has produced its iconic windproof lighters since 1932. Condition: Used vintage condition, with visible scratches, surface wear, patina and areas of discolouration consistent with age and use. The leather pouch also shows considerable wear. Please examine the photographs carefully.
