I picked this thing up to rebuild for a buddy that works at GE. The four dots on the left and right of the zippo logo dates it 1955-1957. Thought id share.

I think Case Knives owns Zippo now. Not positive.

Two things you learned quick if you used a Zippo lighter. Put a extra flint under that little felt pad and never ever put to much fluid in it.

You can send the lighter to Zippo and they will repair it at no charge, no matter how old it is.
