Misc. Zippos Continued......
Here is one advertising Zippo itself. Featuring an American Flag, and an Eagle, great symbols of America, just as Zippo has come to be. This is a brushed brass finish. DOM-Nov`95
This high polished chrome Zippo has a pewter emlem attached, showing the Case/Zippo Visitor's Center, and the Zippo Museum. A cool Zippo. DOM-Feb`98
This brushed chrome Zippo is, I believe, now the oldest Zippo I own. I really have no idea what the actual DOM is, but it is the only one I own with a 3-barrel hinge. It is also Pat.2032695, with a "canned" bottom. So my best guess is that it is between 1948-49. It is engraved Hygeia, or possibly the "ranch" style "J" Hygeia,(notice the curve on the left leg of the "H")neither of which I have any idea what it is. Any info you can give me on the date, or Hygeia would be appreciated. *update* After comparing to the dating guide in David Poore's book, the best result is that it IS in fact a `48-`49 model with a late `67 insert. DOM-1948-49
Here is another Vietnam Memorial Zippo. This one pays tribute to the Veitnam Veterans Memorial. High polished chrome. DOM-Sept`97
This high polished chrome Zippo pays tribute to the 1924 Olympics in Paris. No special interest to me, but a neat lighter anyway. DOM-May`96
