Claimed May 1997 · Regular · counterfeit Marlboro offer

Offered on Subito.it as a Marlboro Zippo. The imitation has a comparatively convincing Zippo logo but appears to read “BRADFORD, RA.” rather than “BRADFORD, PA.”, with poorly executed month/year markings. The apparent E XIII code represents May 1997 only as a claimed marking, not an authenticated manufacture date.

Claimed date: 1997. A claimed stamp date is NOT a verified production date.
