Vintage WESTERN ELECTRIC TELEPHONE Adv. 10K GOLD FILLED SLIM ZIPPO LIGHTER
Item History & Price
Here is a vintage slim Zippo lighter that has a 10K gold filled case. According to the emblem near the bottom its adverting Western Electric Telephones. This was probably an award/retirement gift from a Western Electric employee. I'm guessing it was probably made sometime around the 1960s. I see no dents or wear-through spots on the outer part of the gold-filled case. The Zippo lighter insert looks to be original and doesn't seem to have any serious issues. The top cover swings open an...d closes as it should. About the only wear is in the form of light, tiny scratches which are not too distracting. These tiny scratches are just from normal wear and some may possibly be buffed away. Even with the tiny scratches this lighter still looks nice and is in very good overall condition. My camera doesn't do well with shiny objects like this so I didn't use a flash (which otherwise may obliterate some details). Any overly bright spots are just glare/reflections from the light.
