CHICAGO YACHT CLUB FLAG(Burgee)
Founded in 1875, Chicago Yacht Club is one of the oldest and most respected yacht clubs in the world. Chicago Yacht Club is ranked on the top 10 list of U.S. yacht clubs by Platinum Clubs of America. The Club is home to more than 1, 400 members, including a winning America’s Cup skipper, Olympic medalists and hopefuls, and outstanding boaters of all type...s, from ages 4 to 100. The Club offers year-round activities for its diverse membership at two locations on the city’s shoreline, at Monroe and Belmont Harbors. They are recognized as a leader in sailing education, with one of the largest junior sailing programs in the United States.Each July, the club hosts the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, one of the longest running fresh-water sailing races in the world. The race starts from just off the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, continues up the length of Lake Michigan and finishes on Mackinac Island off the round island lighthouse.Another signature event is the annual VERVE Cup regatta held each August. The "Verve" hosts both an inshore event and an offshore event and attracts the top sailors in the country.Chicago Yacht Club is a leader in teaching children and adults to sail, teaching sailing lessons for over 84 years.
This is a very vintage Zippo that was seldom used and obviously very well cared for. It is in excellent condition for a lighter of this age. Good 5 barrel hinge, Good Cam, Matching original insert & wick, 16 hole chimney. Nice color on the felt and in great working condition. Even the PAT. 2032695 insert has very minimal surface wear. The stamp on the insert also matches the bottom stamp. This lighter has the hollow rivet on the flint wheel. If any of you collectors out there can narrow down the year, let me know.
Includes a vintage Black & Grey Candy Striped Zippo Box also in excellent condition with fold out warranty paper. The box may be worth the price of the lighter on this one.
Bottom Is Stamped:
