This is an auction for a Vintage 1993 "VARGA GIRL" Zippo Lighter inscribed for ESQUIRE MAGAZINE, relisted due to non-payment!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are selling this Vintage 1935 Varga Girl Zippo Cigarette Lighter made in 1993 as follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This auction is for the vintage Varga Girl Zippo Lighter out of the collector's cabinet and for your consideration from an estate sale as follows:


This vintage cigarette lighter featuring the Varga Girl, a special series of "Collectibles of the Year" produced by Zippo that were designed to appeal to collectors and some were limited editions according to some book research.  This Art-Deco style girl on the front of the lighter features a windswept model lighting her cigarette with a Zippo lighter in her hand.......
 

The Varga Girl ZIPPO Lighter measures approximately 1 3/8" wide and is about 2 1/4" tall and about a little less than 1/2" deep.  The small Zippo lighter weighs 2.1 ounces on our small home postal scale.

The cigarette lighter is signed on the bottom ZIPPO in large letters with an A to one side and an X on the other.  Also, it is marked Bradford, PA and MADE IN USA.  The reverse of the lighter is signed Esquire (for Esquire Magazine) and is engraved with the name Jamie Malinowski.

It is in good condition with a slight need for polishing.  The lighter does not light currently and would hopefully just need a refill of the lighter fluid.

We can ship this in the US in a small flat-rate Box and international mail will be in a small flat rate international in a box, which we will be able to track and insure.

Please ask any questions and we'll do our best to answer..........
Happy Collecting and Happy New Year!  Cheers!
