This early postwar Barcroft features the distinctive tall rectangular body, polished chrome finish, two-step pedestal base, and desirable four-barrel hinge configuration. It retains the large period-style petrol insert marked with Zippo’s Pat. 2032695 number.
The clean, undecorated chrome body gives this example a classic presentation and clearly shows the distinctive proportions of the second-generation Barcroft design.

CONDITION
Very good vintage condition with surface scratches, light scuffs, small marks, and localized finish wear consistent with age and previous handling. The chrome retains a bright reflective appearance overall.
The interior and lighter mechanism show age-related residue and signs of previous use, as visible in the photos.
Functional status is not confirmed from the information provided, so I would list this lighter as untested rather than claim that it is working.
Please review all photos carefully as they form an important part of the description and show the exact condition of the lighter.
SHIPPING
The lighter will be shipped without fuel in accordance with shipping requirements and will be carefully packed for transit.
