Thank You. Back in April my house was broken into 3 times by the local scum-bags. I was forced to get a pain in the but security system and high impact windows [not a bad thing in hurricane country]. But to help offset the cost I am selling a portion of my Zippo lighter collection. I have been collecting Zippos for over 20 years and will be listing some very desirable lighters between July 15th and into early September. The listings will have a nice mix of WWII, Construction and Trucking, 3bbl nickle silver, many mint in box advertising, a few aviation and aerospace, oil company, and even a few newer lighters. This listing is for a true all original 1958 Zippo lighter with an ad for "John Weitzel, Inc. Wichita-Lacrosse, Kansas. The original hinge has just the slightest play, and the original insert with the centered horizontal patent # [used only in 1958] has a strong cam spring. The company has supplied Boeing aircraft with sheet metal parts since 1945. The paint is about 98% intact with just a few specs missing on the plane. I have been told the plane is a B-52 bomber, but I don't know that for sure. This rare old lighter has absolutely no dents, dings, or scrapes and has just light even surface marks. Overall this is a great old aviation Zippo lighter. Low opening bid with no reserve, so have at it. This item is sold as is but is of course guaranteed to be as described. ******* I do not ship to Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Italy, Russia, or Thailand. NO EXCEPTIONS. Due to the high incident of credit card fraud and/or disappearing postal packages in these areas. ******* This will make a fine addition to your Zippo ® lighter collection, or a nice gift for the Zippo fan in your life. I send out all my invoices after the last auction closes, usually on Sunday night. Paypal payment is due within 5 days from the time I send the invoice unless prior arrangements have been made.
