The Zippo Slim Maple Leaf is a vintage High Polish Chrome lighter manufactured in 1968 at Zippo’s Canadian factory in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Its classic Maple Leaf design celebrates Canada’s national symbol, while the slim case gives it the elegant proportions characteristic of Zippo’s smaller-format lighters. The original Canadian production is confirmed by the Niagara Falls, Ontario markings, making this lighter a particularly interesting piece of Zippo’s Canadian manufacturing history. This example is preserved in its distinctive red Canadian souvenir box, an uncommon period presentation that adds considerable character and collector appeal. Dating from 1968, the Zippo Slim Maple Leaf represents an authentic piece of mid-century Canadian Zippo history and a beautiful example of a vintage Niagara Falls Zippo.
