that's the trouble with them Jules, there are no date codes on the bottom and we have to rely upon the insert assuming it's original. cool lighter seems to have the best chart to date inserts |

well done Bob! Can you please give Jules a hand with more specifics as the best I could give him (from these addled braincells) was : -
1949 - Pat. Pend bottom stamp
1950 - ??1966 Pat. 1950 " "
??1966 - ?? 1976 no date " "
??1976 -> same as US datings

Strangely, I was looking for the same page last week to answer a question in the click forum, and discovered that the page in question no longer exists. I have searched the whole of the new cool lighter website but can't find it anywhere.
Zippo Manual No 6 is now your best bet

I knew that I had downloaded this page to my PC, but couldn't find it at the time, If anyone needs the info, I can Zip the folder up and email it. Drop me a mail to glen@city-of-manchester.com and I'll send you a copy
