Second Zippo...way cool!

From some woods in a park I was hunting today, Zippo #2 for me.
Scraped the bottom and saw the word Zippo so that was great, I thought it had a stubborn lump of dirt clinging to the front but after scrubbing it a bit in the field I see a cowboy and a horse...then I smiled.
This is a 1994 Marlboro Country Store item, not for sale by Zippo but you could get one if you cut enough UPC codes off of cigarette packs and cashed them in.
I assume a little more rare since they were not offered to the general populace, I never smoked any Marlboros but now I own one of these anyway.
It is brass and in rough shape but I will tumble it a bit and get it cleaner, not all the way to shiny because it will just tarnish anyway.
Then I will send it in to Zippo and let them reconditioned it and get it working like new again...for free.
"It works or we fix it free" and they mean it.

Love finding items I can bring back to life and put to good use.
 
Those are neat finds. I sent a plain lighter back to them a few years ago that was really trashed and they replaced it. Yours is a little fancier. Good hit! HH jim tn
 
I had a new zippo that I ran over by accident with a caterpillar 992, 200,000 lb loader, after it fell out of my shirt pocket! Needless to say it was flatter than a flitter! I sent it in and they sent me a brand new one with a letter that they couldn't fix the old one! Wonder Why??? LOL Great Company!!!
 
Congrats on an amazing find.

DON'T send it in...you'll never see it again...they probably can't replace that one anymore...

They always send back the old one even if they decide to replace it.
Plus, all this needs is the insert extracted and a new one inserted and a little tightening on the cover.
This is an easy fix for them, they know what they are doing and have repaired others sent in that were in way worse shape than this so I am not worried.
