The
first official Zippo Click members-only lighter featured the
popular |
brushed
chrome 1941 replica, showcasing the logo in full color. |
Members
had the option of having their lighter engraved with their |
member
number. Lighters for the first 1,000 Zippo Click
members also |
carry
“Charter Member” engraved on the front lid.
Several distinguishing |
characteristics
identify the 1941 replica. The 1941 case has flat planes
with |
sharp,
less rounded edges where the front and back surfaces meet
the |
sides.
The lid and the bottom are joined with a four-barrel hinge,
just as |
they
were on the original 1941 design, rather than the current
five-barrel |
hinge.
The inside unit closely replicates the design of the
original 1941 |
model
inside unit. Like the outside, the sides of the inside unit
are flatter, |
with
squared edges where they meet the front and back surfaces. |
The
chimney has fewer holes than the current inside unit & a
hollow rivet |
holds
the striking wheel in place, like the original 1941 design.
A certificate |
of
authenticity completed this Zippo Click introductory
commemorative. |
