PERFECT BIRTHDAY GIFT

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE LIGHTER "NUMBER 1" THAT IS IN ZIPPOS POSSESSION. I CANNOT GET A DECENT PHOTO OF THE ZIPPO 7927.     

ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION OF "ZIPPO 500 MILLION EDITION - June 5, 2012"

 Unused & Unfired 

Windproof Zippo Lighter

The actual 500 Millionth Zippo lighter boasts a classic brushed chrome finish with two-tone engraving, a distinctive bottom stamp indicating June 5, 2012 as the date of manufacture and a time stamp and individual serial number of “1” on the front of the case.In celebration of the milestone, Zippo closed its manufacturing plant at 10:45 AM, allowing all 620 Zippo employees to take part in the ceremony. Following the final engraving of the 500 Millionth lighter, employees formed a human chain between the manufacturing plant and the company’s nearby museum. The 500 Millionth lighter was passed down the chain, from employee to employee, and finally presented to Duke when it reached the museum. This is the lighter you see with the number 1 above.

To further commemorate the achievement, Zippo is dedicating nearly all production today to the manufacture of two highly collectible commemorative lighters: a 500 Millionth replica and a deluxe limited edition model. All lighters made today will feature a custom bottom stamp used only once, making them one-of-a-kind and enhancing their collectability even further. This Special Lighter comes in a Zippo Silver Gift Box with the Zippo 500 Million June 5, 2012 logo on the front and the description of the American Made Lighter on the inside.
