1974 Hyster Advertiser Slim Zippo Lighter - NOS Excellent w Box
This 1974 NOS slim Zippo lighter features the Hyster logo.
The lighter is unfired and all correct, but has some very faint light scratches only visible from certain angles, perhaps from cleaning. As a result of this handling we are grading this Excellent 94. Lighter comes with correct box that has some discoloring as seen in photos.
Great piece to add to your industrial advertiser collection.
Hyster is an American success story that dates to the start of the Great Depression. In 1929, the Willamett-Ersted Company formed in the Pacific Northwest as a logging equipment manufacturer. One of the company’s first trucks included a winch or hoist loggers called a “hyster.” The name caught on and, in 1934, the company was renamed Willamette-Hyster. One customer, one truck, one solution at a time, the company grew.
