Case & Sons Visitors Center building facade in Bradford, Pennsylvania. A must-have cross-collectible piece for both Zippo enthusiasts and Case Knife collectors alike!

CRITICAL COLLECTOR DETAILS:

* HISTORIC BARRETT-SMYTHE DESIGN: Features an incredibly detailed, 3D raised pewter emblem plate designed by the renowned Barrett-Smythe studio, highlighting the joint home of Zippo and Case Cutlery over a rugged brushed chrome finish.

* PERIOD-CORRECT MATCHED SET: Features a clear, crisp, and verified outer case bottom stamp of A XVI (manufactured in January of 2000). The internal insert is stamped XVI (Year 2000), making it a 100% factory-original, period-correct assembly.

* PROFESSIONAL PRESERVATION: The original, unused flint has been carefully removed from the tube to prevent long-term degradation or jamming of the flint wheel. The authentic, unused original flint will be safely included in a separate mini-bag inside your package.

* COMPLETE PACKAGE SET: Includes the original golden presentation box, the black velvet inner display tray, the factory lifetime guarantee manual, and the original matching barcode inventory label (578 ZIPPO/CASE VSTRS CNT) intact on the box.

* EXACT ITEM GUARANTEE: What you see is exactly what you will receive. Please review all provided high-resolution photos carefully to inspect the pristine condition of this piece. If you have any questions or need further details, please ask before purchasing!

VAULT STORAGE PREPPED & SEALED: This lighter has been meticulously prepared for elite archival preservation. The internal flint tube has been completely cleared and protected against long-term freezing or chemical degradation.
