Condition Report
- Cosmetic: Shows a lovely, authentic pocket-worn patina from normal historical use. Expect light surface scratches, micro-dings, and minimal carbon buildup on the chimney.
- Functional: The 5-barrel hinge and cam function well, providing that signature, crisp "Zippo click." The flint wheel rotates freely and produces an excellent spark.
- Note: The lighter is sold unfueled due to shipping safety regulations and will need lighter fluid to operate.
