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.
One of my favourite Armored Zippo Lighters, the 75th Anniversary Limited Edition Zippo. Year 2007 marks the 75th year since Zippo started in year 1932. Embedded in the center of the Zippo flame, is a genuine Swarovski crystal. With unique armored bottom stamp, this definitely stands out amongst the rest. A total of 37,198 were manufactured and distributed around the world. What i have here is from the USA market, 1 of 14,000.
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.
