Question
Being a cigar collector, I'd imagine you have some knowledge of zippo's possibly. I have a 4 lighter set called "Mysteries of the forest." Any clue on it's value? Thank you,Tony
This lighter set is late 1990s. As a distributor of Zippo we still have some singles for sale and this shows the lack of interest in the item at this early date.
Very infrequently does a Zippo increase in value this early. The Millenium Zippo in titanium was worth a lot more for a short time then fell in value but is still worth more than the original selling price.
So - This is a nice set and kept in perfect condition it will accrue value nicely at the 30, 40, 50 year old collectible level.
It's value today is around $100 to $200.
