1959 TRW Vintage Zippo Slim Lighter - Historic to AerospaceReally nice 2 color etch & paint Zippo of iconic TRW company! This lighter probably created to commemorate the late 1958 merger of two large US companies. We are not sure if this lighter has been fired. It is so clean inside, but the wick is a little darkened. the insert is correct. The hinge is solid, but the lighter has been handled outside of its box. No scratches or dings. The is a small discoloration on the back as shown in photo. Iconic company.

What a wonderful lighter to add to a collection of Club or Yellowhorse lighter
