The Ducas Leather Zippo is a genuine test sample from a production run that never came to be. Wrapped in exceptionally high-quality leather with craftsmanship that speaks for itself, this lighter represents a chapter in Zippo's history that collectors rarely get to hold in their hands. These were produced in the late 1980's/early 1990's and this example looks to be from the early 1990's, but the date code on the insert is difficult to read.

It is in new/unfired condition and the flint has been removed. The lighter ships with a vintage 1970's repair box. 

Pieces like this don't surface often. Once it's gone, it's gone.
