This regular-size Zippo has a silver-tone case with fine vertical engine-turned lines and a blank rectangular front panel with no visible initials. The patterned reverse and rounded bright edges give both sides a defined appearance for a patterned-lighter display. Scratches, dark specks and worn areas are visible around the top edge, corners and base. The case stamp has two forward slashes on each side; the supplied 1978 case date remains tentative. The removable insert carries a separate C / XIII marking, so it is not represented as an authenticated same-date or original insert. Its surfaces show abrasion and discoloration, with darkening around the chimney and a stained felt pad. The flint screw is present. No lighting or fuel-retention test is reported. Exact alloy, plating and component history are unconfirmed; the appeal here is the pictured line pattern and unpersonalized panel rather than a promised working or all-original example.
Contents: One regular-size Zippo windproof-type pocket lighter with a removable wick insert. This is one complete sellable lighter, not a multiple-unit lot. No box, spare parts or accessories are pictured. Vertical engine-turned lines and a blank rectangular front panel are the decorative design; no initials are visible. Metal is the supported material; exact alloy and plating are unconfirmed.
The photographed case base reads Bradford, PA and Zippo with two forward slashes on each side. The source's 1978 case attribution remains tentative. The insert separately bears C / XIII, Zippo Mfg. Co., Bradford, PA and Made in Zippo U.S.A. wording. Component markings are recorded independently: an insert manufacture date is not decoded here and original or same-date pairing is not authenticated. U.S. origin is the supplied helper value, not a claim of original component pairing.
The perforated chimney, wheel, cam, felt pad and slotted flint screw are pictured; a flint or spring replacement requirement is not established for this item. No lighting or fuel-retention test is reported. Fuel contents, residue removal and hazardous-material/shipping eligibility are unresolved. See all photos for condition, separate markings and included components.
