Zippo Solid Nickel Lighter, circa 1946 w/Service Box

Description

Offered for sale is a vintage full-sized Zippo lighter in solid nickel, made in USA circa 1946.  To my knowledge, 1946 was the only year that Zippo made lighters in solid nickel.  This lighter features a solid nickel case with a light personal engraving on the front and back.   The lighter is in very good used condition, showing signs of normal use and carry.  The nickel shows a patina appropriate for its age.  The original 3-barrel hinge has since been replaced at the Zippo factory with a 5-barrel hinge and it wobbles slightly.   Needs only flint and fluid to work.  Comes with a Zippo service box.  You can own this great vintage Zippo lighter for $299.99.
