This vintage Zippo lighter is a unique collector's item that honors the USS Nicholson DD-982, a Spruance Class destroyer that served in the US Navy. The lighter features the ship's name and hull number, and was made in the United States by Zippo. These lighters were only sold on the ship.
It has been previously owned, but remains in great working condition. The lighter has not been modified in any way. This is a perfect addition to any collection of Zippo lighters or Navy memorabilia.
Please see pictures for best description!!!
The ship was launched November 11, 1977.
It was decommissioned on December 20, 2002.
