The most expensive Zippo: in 1933, sold for $ 11,758.98

* hold your breath * WOW!! currently a record price for the Zippo lighter on Ebay! This is completely original, the earliest instance of Zippo 1933, height 2 7 / 16 inch (6.19 cm), which tells us about the time of release: the first half of 1933. The unique thing. Lighter once visited a repair and it was replaced by the wheel and re-soldered to the loop, but otherwise all original. Actually, the same famous Zippo (in slightly better condition) was at one time sold for $ 18,000. I sincerely envy such an acquisition - such as unique copies appear on the market every few years. Initial price lighters was only $ 9.99, 46 rates, and voila! As they say, demand breeds supply:)
Sale price: $ 11,758.98

    It is a pity that the photograph is not normally able to: filmed at the "wide" angle (except the bottom-up) - because the lighter appearance in the picture trapezoidal, means it is not. IMHO, the owner, given this Zippo could norialnuyu photo session to order.
