This brand new Zippo Marlboro brass oil lighter appeals strongly to collectors due to its limited production run and the iconic reputation of the Zippo brand, known for quality craftsmanship since the 1930s.

Such lighters, especially in unused condition, are highly sought after for their retro charm and durability, often representing a distinct crossover between functional items and collectible memorabilia.

As with many cigarette-related collectibles, their rarity often drives prices; this auction starts at an attractively low bid for a piece in mint condition.

The demand is particularly strong in Japan, where collectors appreciate authentic items with character and historical significance.
