Here's a delicious Zippo 1949 with doggie - very well preserved, original box, high price. Now look how many of this set is itself Lighter: Here is another auction, and an empty box from the same Town and Country - went for more than 500 dollars. This extreme collecting for strong spirit! :))
Price: $ 1,389.00 and $ 527.00
Another hardcore and horror - the empty boxes out of the models Zippo Town and Country 1949. Such prices are linked to the fact that having the presence of the lighter itself in perfect condition, but without the box with the box you can increase its value more than $ 600. But the very fact that the empty box sells for so much, of course, goes beyond common sense:)
Price: $ 523.00 and $ 600.00
Lot of discharge curious: the seller put the found somewhere in the house Zippo 1985, and bargain for it - an empty korobchku, which, he thought, belongs to this lighter ... A box was the original box 1935 issue (the seller at first did not know) . In the 13 bidders had forgotten about the very lighter and fought for a rare box, making 21 bet, and he result. I can imagine how my eyes got out on his forehead from the seller after the auction:)
Price: $ 590.00
Curious lot - an empty box of Zippo World War II, in such boxes Zippo sold from 1942 to 1945. It's empty boxes, Zippo is not included! Here's a price for even and regular, but rarely a cardboard box, a whole more expensive lighters:)
Why is anyone buying? Everything is quite simple: let's say someone is a brand new lighter black crackle without the box, costing, say, $ 300. Next, the owner bought separately for $ 88 a box and put it lighter. Now complete Lighter + Box 1940-ies is not $ 388, and a few more, sometimes much more:) So that old empty boxes from Zippo is often sold, and demand is stable.
Price: $ 88.00
Two lots, striking imagination rarity and price. These are two empty boxes out of the Zippo model 1935 (sold by different vendors, by the way). One generally empty, only the lid and the box itself, and the second to maintain internal vstavochka the original paper manual, warranty. SAMI LIGHTERS not included! :) Bid for the real hardcore Zippo-collectors! :)
Price: $ 600 (box only) and $ 627 (box with instructions and the inner part)
A good example of how useful to know the history and own information. A seller has put this box up for auction with a description: "I do not know anything about this box, but it seems it from Zippo 1930". One-two and the price soared to a 3-digit numbers! My friends from the online club Collectors Zippo Enthusiast Network meanwhile, were very interested in the origin of obscure subject, asked archivist of the company Zippo Linda Mebon and got an answer: the company has never used the box of this type and its origin is unclear. However, it was too late to: anonymous buyer who paid $ 318.13 for an incomprehensible piece of shit:)
