Description
Vintage Zippo Stainless Steel Letter Opener With Protective Sleeve. Slightly used, complete set, acquired at a Safety Kleen annual meeting in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I don't know the exact year it was given out.The letter opener is stainless steel (photo 6), 9 1/4" long. It comes with a soft brown sleeve (photos 1, 4, & 5).
The Safety Kleen "We Care" logo is imprinted on the handle. (photos 1, 5, 7, & 8) An image of the globe is depicted in blue and green, with "WE CARE." superimposed across the middle. The outer ring has "We Recycle" in the top arc, and "We use Safety Kleen Environmental Services" in the bottom arc.
It comes in the original box, (9 3/4" x 1 11/16" x 3/4") with a light brown "textured" lid bearing the Zippo logo in gold (photos 2, 4, & 5) and a gold base (photo 3). Inside is a slanted insert, allowing the opener to be displayed nicely on a desk. (photos 1 & 7)
My mother used this letter opener a little, so light scratches may be visible on the blade. They are hard to photograph, unfortunately. Using the enlarging tool on photos 9, 10, & 11 might help you assess the condition. The tip has slight dulling to the point--like a burr on the end. I tried to show it in photos 9 & 10, but it's more easily felt than seen. I don't know if it could be smoothed out.
From a smoke-free, pet-free home. Please see all pictures, inspect carefully, and ask any questions before bidding.
Thanks for looking.
