2007 · 1935 Replica · Bradford — Case & bottom stamp reference (2007)

2007 · 1935 Replica · Bradford: One of the earliest 1935 Replica examples documented in the source collection. The model has an external three-barrel hinge, a flat base and a comparatively short case. An alleged earlier prototype date was not independently substantiated and is not used as a dating rule. 2007 · 1935 Replica · Bradford: The source observes gaps between documented later production months. This does not establish that Zippo produced the 1935 Replica only in particular batches.

Historical variants and original source records

Independent sources and distinct stamp layouts are preserved as individual photographs, not additional main cards. A pictured example alone cannot establish that every lighter from the year used the same construction.

Dating caution. A Replica name refers to the reproduced design, not necessarily the year this example was manufactured. Case and insert can have different manufacture dates; inserts may have been replaced. A single feature does not establish authenticity.
