<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9932387, member: 649"]My son is a long-time Zippo collector/dealer. He says the case is NOT Zippo, though the insert is. Someone put a Zippo insert in a non-Zippo case. They may have had the case custom made by a silversmith to fit the Zippo insert. He says the age of the insert is 1961-1979 and the value overall is $75-$150. (Probably lower end of that due to the damage.)</p><p>Zippo will not repair the case for you since it is not theirs. You might try a jewelers for repair. (Zippo will repair their own stuff.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
