Imagine how well things were going at the company when it ordered a batch of gold-plated Zippo in luxury gift boxes - even if such an order was worth quite expensive. Amazing and beautiful thing!

    It is simply unique! Owner lucky - at that age, in that state, but still essentially limited edition ... No such finding in my opinion should be evaluated in more than $ 550, definitely. Even with Zippo 1953 Kelvinator is not as good as it is, though, and a more than 2-fold. Well, again, it is in my subjective opinion)

Now, waiting for help from the experts =)
