Condition Report
- Case: Good vintage condition. Features a smooth, operational 5-barrel hinge with minor expected play. The exterior metal shows honest pocket wear, micro-scuffs, and minor surface scratches consistent with its age, but lacks deep gouges or structural dents. The lid snaps shut with the signature Zippo click.
- Insert: Original period-correct matching insert. The chimney shows standard carbon staining and heat discoloration from past usage. The flint wheel spins and sparks freely, though you will need to add a fresh flint and lighter fluid to make it fully operational.
- Inclusions: Lighter only.
