1969 Cedarapids Advertising Zippo – New in Original Box

Offered here is an exceptional 1969 Zippo advertising lighter produced for Cedarapids, the well-known Iowa manufacturer of aggregate equipment, asphalt plants and paving machinery.

This original brushed chrome Zippo remains in outstanding collector condition and includes its original presentation box, instruction insert and guarantee. The insert appears completely unfired, with the original wick intact and no evidence of fuel having ever been added.

The front features the classic Cedarapids logo with the advertising text:

Cedarapids
Built by Iowa
Aggregate Equipment
Asphalt Plants
and Pavers

Advertising Zippos from industrial manufacturers are increasingly desirable among collectors because they were generally produced in relatively limited quantities for sales representatives, distributors, dealers and corporate promotions rather than for ordinary retail sale. This example is particularly desirable because it survives as a complete new-old-stock package.
