55-Year Zippo Time Capsule Bought in Denver, Colorado

About the Collection

Sell My Lighters bought this 55-plus-year Zippo time capsule in Denver, Colorado. It was the inventory of a Zippo salesman from the 1960s and 1970s, kept together untouched for more than five decades: rare new old stock lighters, salesman displays, salesman samples and sterling silver pieces.

Most of it was still in the original boxes, which is rare for a salesman’s own stock. Highlights included the Golden Elegance and Golden Tortoise sets, denim slim lighters on a pocket display and a Mt. Rushmore display card. Going through it was like walking through a Zippo sales catalog from the 1960s and 1970s.

We buy Zippo lighters in Colorado and across the United States, from a single piece to a full vintage lighter collection. This Denver purchase is one example of the collections we buy.
