In the picture attached below, we have 2 versions of Zippo Lighters released in 1957 for its 25th Anniversary, followed by employee only version 1972 40th anniversary, the more common release solid brass 1982 50th anniversary, Collectible of the Year 1992 60th Anniversary, 1997 65th Anniversary and 2002 Friends of the Century 70th Anniversary. 2007 75th Anniversary, 2012 80th Anniversary and 2017 85th Anniversary Armored case as Limited Editions.
Released in 1957, there are 2 known versions of the 25th Anniversary Zippo Lighters. The rarer version, featuring the Zippo wording on the top panel, with the 25th anniversary logo at the bottom panel, while the more common version has both the wordings and logo at the bottom panel. I am lucky to come across both versions in my journey in collecting Zippos.
Copper Zippos were released from the year 2002 until 2009. In year 2002, they released their first and only copper collectible, the Copper Z Series Project. These are the rare versions with copper inserts, and a special copper Z Stamp. I am lucky to chance upon a few of them while collecting Zippos.
