Basically same questions as derrick & roy ...not being non trustful , I collect these for my son & the #'s tell year , batch code , etc ..Great Auction :) will check back for updates on photos :)
Most people will not buy these with out knowing what number is on the bottom. I know I wouldn't. I use to collect these and still have a few left. I have one that is 50 years old that belonged to my dad.
Trust has nothing to do with my question. You stated the Zippo is in its box, Zippo packaging changes from time to time and how it is packaged can sometimes tell one about when it was made is all.
Could you just say if it's a black plastic box or black cardboard box or just give a little description? Actually, I've see this lighter in a clear plastic blister on black cardboard. thanks, f & w.
This is a newer entry level Zippo, everyone worried about the number is hoping for NOS Zippo, or an antique limited edition. This is on you can purchase every day for 14.99 - 15.99. Either way this is a great item for what is being asked.
