Condition Details (Please Read Before Offering):

• Lighter Case & Insert: The lighter is in used, unpolished condition with honest pocket wear and light surface scratching expected for its age. The insert is currently non-functioning/shows no spark, which is typical for vintage pieces due to an oxidized or jammed flint tube.
• Hinge: The original 5-barrel hinge is unbroken and tight, but shows surface rust bleeding onto both edges\' surface. It has been left completely untouched—I have NOT sent it to Zippo for modern warranty repair to preserve its 100% original vintage value.
• Box & Paperwork: The original two-tone box is structurally sound with standard vintage shelf wear. The interior black tray and inner script logos are clean. The paperwork shows typical aging but is fully intact.
