Zippo 1970 salesman case 1

Specially made for Zippo their salesmen, this case was used in the Alabama region in the USA. The general idea of these cases is to show customers the different types of engravings, colors and the wide range of products available to potential customers. Many of these items were never brought into normal production.

	On the top left corner we can find the Golf gift set. 3 golf balls and a greenskeeper are included in this set. These sets are extremely hard to find. Each golf ball has got a double advertisement to show the possibilities.
Below you will find two greenskeepers (used for golf players) and a pocket knife with money clip. The greenskeeper on the left is normally with Golf gift set.

On the lower left corner there are the 3 different types of available lighters during that period. Also a HP chrome ruler
