High Polish Sterling Silver No.15

Zippo No.15 is the sterling silver interpretation of the classic Regular case format. This example combines a plain, undecorated case with a high-polish sterling silver exterior, preserving the familiar proportions of the classic Zippo windproof lighter in a premium precious-metal construction.

A Rare 2001 Collector-Grade Example

This particular lighter is an original 2001 production example, identified by its clearly dated STERLING 2001 bottom stamp together with the period insert. Approximately 25 years after production, it remains unused and exceptionally well preserved. The case presents in collector-grade condition with no visible scratches, dents or handling marks in the supplied product photographs, making this a notably clean surviving example of an early-2000s sterling silver Zippo.

Only one example is currently available from KingZendo. The photographs on this listing show the actual lighter offered for sale.

Period Identification

The dedicated sterling silver bottom stamp reads STERLING 2001 alongside the Zippo logo and MADE IN U.S.A. These physical markings, together with the accompanying insert, identify this lighter as a 2001 production piece rather than a current-production sterling silver lighter.

Packaging & Condition

The lighter is supplied with the blue velvet presentation box shown in the product gallery. The outer paper sleeve is not present, so the packaging should not be considered a complete boxed set. The lighter itself is unused and exceptionally clean. As with any genuine high-polish sterling silver object, natural tarnish or subtle surface changes can develop over time and can be maintained with appropriate silver care.

Fuel & Use

This is a refillable Zippo windproof lighter using Zippo lighter fuel. For transport safety, it is shipped without fuel. Collectors who intend to preserve its unused condition may prefer to keep the lighter unfueled.
