This regular-size Zippo pocket lighter has plain brushed silver-tone faces, brighter rounded edges and a hinged lid. The bottom carries the Bradford, PA marking, Zippo logo and patent number 2517191, with four vertical marks on each side. The supplied 1966 case attribution is tentative rather than authenticated. Both faces show handling scratches and scuffs, including more distinct scratches on the reverse; the base and edges also show wear. The removable insert is abraded with darkening around the chimney and a discolored felt pad. Its flint screw is present, but a replacement flint is needed. No lighting or fuel-retention test is reported. The unadorned design makes this a useful comparison piece for a Zippo stamp collection or a hands-on service project. Exact plating, alloy and original case-to-insert pairing remain unconfirmed.
Contents and form: One regular-size Zippo windproof-type pocket lighter with its hinged case and removable wick insert, not a two-lighter lot. Only the photographed case and insert are included; no box or spare flints are pictured. Plain brushed silver-tone faces have brighter smooth edges and no visible decorative emblem or personalization. Color is an appearance description; the exact metal alloy and plating are unconfirmed.
Markings: The case base reads Bradford PA, Zippo and PAT. 2517191 with four vertical bars on each side. The insert separately reads Zippo Mfg. Co., Bradford PA, Made in Zippo U.S.A. and PAT. 2517191, together with Zippo fluid/flint instructions. A patent number is not a manufacture date. The supplied 1966 case identification remains tentative and awaits owner review; it does not authenticate the insert's age or original pairing.
Mechanism and condition: Photographs show the perforated chimney, serrated flint wheel, cam, felt pad with opening and slotted flint screw. A replacement flint is needed despite the screw being present. Static photographs do not demonstrate hinge tightness, spring tension, ignition or fuel retention. U.S. origin is the supplied helper value; an insert marking alone does not independently establish whole-case manufacture. Fuel contents, residue removal and shipping/hazardous-material eligibility are unresolved. See all photographs for markings, wear and included components.
