Monday, June 29th, 2009

June 27 at Ebay has been set yet another record price for a Zippo, overtook even the famous Zippo 1933 . Zippo 1951 gold was sold 585, inhaled and exhaled, for $ 11,999.99 !!! Moreover, it was not a successful bid and buyout price set by the seller at once, and yet the lot was purchased just a few hours after it was placed on sale.
Lighter itself worthy of a place in the museum (I'm sure that the buyer will provide her the place of honor in your collection) and a separate story. For lighter attached cover letter from the president of the company Zippo Manufacturing George Duke, in which he confirms the authenticity of the lighter and its uniqueness. This is the only ever released a copy of Zippo gold patterned horses in the art Town and Country (outline of the image above is engraved on the body, and then is painted by hand by airbrushing and paint). This lighter was made by Special and order as a gift for someone of your friends Zippo founder George Blaisdell. Even though it was not possible to establish exactly who was the owner of lighters, it was a unique piece order, authorized by George Blaisdell in person.
In addition, the lighter - a perfect example of how important it is for the old things (not only Zippo) have a history, and the importance of the right to file the story. It would cost the same amount, if not the letter of the President? After all, it not only confirms the unique lighters itself, but also gives an idea about the first owner of the lighter, and its relation to George Blaisdell. Maybe George is not only personally supervised the production of the exclusive orders, and personally packed lighter and handed to the customer? :) That we do not know, but we can slightly dofantazirovat already unique story.

Well, here we witnessed a small historical event in the world Zippo: even the rarest model Zippo 1933 release still pops up on some auction a few years, such a Zippo, as this really only appears only once.
