### History / Description A distinctive Zippo Time Tank Pocket Clock featuring an elegant silver-tone finish, a white dial with Roman numeral hour markers, and Zippo's recognizable American design heritage. This fascinating collectible combines the familiar styling of a Zippo lighter with an ingenious sliding-case mechanism. The two silver-tone metal sections slide apart to reveal a compact analogue clock, creating an elegant and unexpected transformation from a lighter-shaped object into a decorative timepiece. The brushed silver-tone surfaces feature Zippo branding and decorative engravings, while the central clock is framed by a polished metallic bezel that contrasts beautifully with the white dial. The base bears markings including "ZIPPO MFG. CO. BRADFORD, PA." and "MADE IN U.S.A.", while the clock back features Zippo branding. Presented with its Zippo Time Tank Pocket Clock presentation box and accompanying printed materials. ### Collector Appeal An appealing crossover collectible for Zippo enthusiasts, collectors of unusual timepieces, and admirers of distinctive American-inspired design. The unusual sliding construction, recognizable Zippo styling, and contrasting white Roman numeral dial make this a visually striking display piece. Unlike a conventional pocket clock, the Time Tank offers an engaging mechanical presentation, revealing its clock face as the outer sections slide apart. The included Zippo presentation box adds to its collector appeal, making it particularly attractive for display in a Zippo collection, cabinet, or personal collection of unusual timepieces. A charming conversation piece that brings together functional design, decorative craftsmanship, and the unmistakable visual identity of Zippo. ### Condition The clock and its silver-tone outer case show signs of previous handling and use, including light surface scratches and minor wear.
