Zippo打火机拍出3.7万美元
Collectors dream about owning an authentic 1933 Zippo lighter, but few ever have the opportunity to make that dream a reality. For the first time, Zippo took an original high polish chrome 1933 lighter from the company vault and put it up for bids at the 75th Anniversary Celebration auction.This lighter had never been out of Zippo's possession. Distinctive features such as the longer length, sharper side planes, outside hinge, and square corners validate the lighter as a genuine 1933 Zippo model. The insert displays a claw-shaped cam characteristic of the first year of production. The high polish chrome finish is in very good to mint condition.
Winning bid - $37,000.00
The 75th Anniversary Celebration auction was held on 28th July 2007 at the grounds of the Zippo/Case Visitor Centre in Bradford, PA. USA. This lighter and many other one ofa kind, proto type, and limited editions were kindly donated by different companies and individuals alike for inclusion in this charity auction.
The previous highest prices paid for these early Zippo lighters were $18,000.00 for one that was sold at the 2004 Tokyo Swap Meet, and $22,500.00 for a 1935 outside hinge 14kt gold one that was sold on eBay in June 2007.
法国一名男子2007年在美国宾夕法尼亚州举行的专场拍卖会上，以3.7万美元(约合2.7万欧元)高价购得一只1933年产Zippo打火机，从而创下这一品牌打火机售价最高纪录。
这名男子名为迪迪尔·卡鲁比，是Zippo打火机在法国的市场营销总监。卡鲁比已有20年Zippo打火机收藏史。他说，这只打火机是“无价之宝”。
1932年，美国人乔治·布雷斯代在宾州布拉德福德市制造了Zippo打火机。这一品牌后来风靡全世界。2007年是Zippo打火机品牌创立75周年，这场拍卖会是Zippo公司举办的系列庆祝活动之一。来自45个国家的250名Zippo打火机收藏爱好者参加了这场拍卖会。
卡鲁比的出价是原先Zippo打火机售价最高纪录的2倍多。2001年Zippo公司在东京举办的一个活动上，一名收藏家以1.8万美元(约合1.32万欧元)购得另一款经典Zippo打火机。而这只创下最新纪录的Zippo打火机1933年出厂价仅为1.95美元。 等有钱了 也要收藏 很喜欢呀 我的复刻什么时候升值哦:D ——这名男子名为迪迪尔·卡鲁比，是Zippo打火机在法国的市场营销总监。卡鲁比已有20年Zippo打火机收藏史。他说，这只打火机是“无价之宝”。
