My grandfather's military lighter from 1943

Please keep this protected and document its history. Future generations should know its story.

Does he have any stories about the lighter? Those wartime pieces often have incredible histories.

That's not just a lighter, it's a piece of family history. Priceless in every sense. Thank you for sharing!

WW2 theater Zippos are incredibly collectible, but this one is beyond value - it's heritage.

I have something similar from my great-uncle. These pieces connect us to history in such a personal way.

The fact that it still works after 80+ years is a testament to Zippo quality. And to your family's care of it!
