Up for sale is the exact item shown in the title: Zippo Iron Horse Train 1 of 250 David Yellowhorse Custom Lighter 2004 NOS Rare.
This incredibly scarce, investment-grade piece belongs to a highly restricted, long-retired run of only 250 units produced worldwide.
What makes the "Old Iron Horse" one of the most sought-after and elusive pieces in David Yellowhorse’s entire history is the subject matter. While the master silversmith is world-renowned for traditional Native American motifs—such as thunderbirds, chiefs, sacred spirits, and wildlife—this stunning steam locomotive and railroad crossbuck design represents a fascinating, highly unusual departure from his signature style. This pre-commercialized masterpiece features meticulous hand-executed rotary texturing, making it a true stylistic anomaly and an absolute crown jewel for elite collectors.
This piece has been carefully stored in a private vault collection and is presented in flawless, un-struck condition.
