EXCLUSIVE FROM SHEPHERD AND CO ARCHIVAL RARITIES
An unprecedented opportunity for elite GM and Zippo curators. This is the legendary, discontinued Zippo Model #20637 "Chevy Midnight Bowtie" Special Edition—originally debuted on Page 15 of the 2004 Choice Catalog.
COLLECTOR ALERT: THE ONLY ONE ON EBAY PERIOD!
• True Ghost Listing: Extensive historical data shows ZERO other active listings and ZERO recorded sales. We openly invite you to check the archives yourself—you will find nothing.
• Single-Batch Release: This limited run was produced exclusively for seasonal dealer accounts and immediately retired. It never hit mass retail or standard catalogs.
Please thoroughly review all high-definition photos to verify the pristine condition before purchasing.
FIRST-PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS:
• First-Run Date Stamp: Features the coveted "A 05" (January 2005) bottom stamp, verifying it as a true first-production unit made right after winter break.
• Premium Black Ice Finish: A flawless, reflective dark-metallic coating that Zippo retired due to its complex manufacturing process.
• Museum-Grade Packaging: Includes the original Zippo collector tin, official GM licensed paperwork, and the outer factory cardboard sleeve with the matching #20637 label.
✨ CONDITION & PRESERVATION:
• Factory New In Box (NIB): The lighter itself is 100% brand new, unfired, and mirror-perfect with zero scuffs or fingerprints.
• 21-Year-Old Vintage Packaging: The rare outer packaging remains fully intact but naturally shows light, honest signs of minor storage marks from over two decades of vault preservation.
• Intact Security Sticker: The original orange safety warning label remains completely undisturbed on the reverse side of the lighter.
WHITE-GLOVE INSURED SHIPPING & POLICIES:
• Secure Transit: Ships completely empty of fuel to comply with carrier rules. Packed strictly inside a rigid, heavy-duty box (never cheap padded mailers).
• Full Carrier Protection: Fully insured at our expense with immediate tracking and precise geolocation delivery scans.
• Acquisition Terms: Payment is expected within 24 hours. Sold as a final sale with no returns, but your satisfaction is guaranteed—reach out directly with any concerns. Worldwide shipping available!
