Fort Knox Zippo

[LEP7cv]

Just want to share a lighter it was "forgotten" in my mom's house, dates around 1988, for you US pipers

Nice! Looks like a slim lighter with a regular insert. There should be a code on the bottom which tells the month and year it was made.

That’s great! I don’t know if the slims have the month stamp on the left side but if you see a letter that will tell you the month: A=Jan, B=Feb, etc.

Fort Knox is home to the Patton Museum. I have memories of going there as a child and playing on the tanks.
