Zippo Packaging & Paperwork

61 photographed references: 45 tray inserts, 13 instruction leaflets and three regional warning-sticker comparisons. These are packaging and paper ephemera, not removable metal Zippo inserts.

Dating limits. Tray-insert dates come from lighter date codes associated with the reference; leaflets have source-assigned historical ranges; warning-sticker comparisons are undated. Do not treat any of these as an independently verified paper printing date or definite lighter dating proof.

Collection source: J. Kim. Photographic copyright is credited on each reference page; one leaflet additionally identifies The Passionate Wick as its image source.
