1980 Zippo Slim • Solid Brass • 1932–1980 Commemorative • Fully Functional For Sale

Up for sale is a genuine Zippo Slim lighter produced in 1980 as part of Zippo’s official 1932–1980 anniversary commemorative series. This model is crafted in solid brass, a premium material Zippo introduced in the late 1970s and early 1980s for collectors who preferred a heavier, more durable case that develops a rich patina over time.

The lid is stamped “SOLID BRASS”, and the bottom stamp reads “1932 Zippo 1980 Bradford, PA”, marking the years from Zippo’s founding to the date of this commemorative release. This bottom stamp is unique to the anniversary series and distinguishes it from standard production Slim models.

The lighter is fully functional, with a smooth‑turning flint wheel, strong hinge tension, and an original, era‑correct Zippo insert. The case shows honest surface wear consistent with age, giving it the warm, lived‑in character that brass collectors appreciate.

The Slim format — introduced by Zippo in the mid‑20th century — offers a more compact, elegant profile compared to the standard case, making this piece both collectible and practical for everyday carry.
