1998 Woman Golfer Etch & Paint Zippo Lighter

A standout piece from the late 1990’s Zippo catalog, this lighter showcases the brand's coveted Etch & Paint process — a technique prized by collectors for its crisp, deeply etched line-work and hand-applied color that holds up beautifully over decades. The subject, a woman golfer mid-swing, captures a moment of sport and style that reflects the era's growing enthusiasm for the game.

Finished in Brushed Chrome, the case carries that understated, satin-smooth look that photographs exceptionally well and displays with quiet confidence. This example is in new, unfired condition — the flint and orange warning label have been removed, as is standard for collector presentation — and comes complete with its original plastic display box and Zippo guarantee paperwork.
