Up for consideration is a vintage Zippo promotional advertising pocket knife featuring a bold corporate logo for Pioneer Sugar. Manufactured by Zippo in Bradford, Pennsylvania, this lightweight, high-visibility folder is an excellent example of vintage mid-century American advertising cutlery.

​This knife is in great condition, featuring flawless mechanical action and sharp factory lines throughout.

​Condition Report:

​The Blade: Great condition. The stainless steel drop point blade retains its bright factory finish with clean faces, a sharp edge, and a needle-thin tip. The tang is stamped "ZIPPO / BRADFORD, PA." on the mark side and "STAINLESS" on the reverse.

​The Handle: The high-visibility neon orange composition handle is structurally perfect with no cracks, gouges, or chips. The red and blue Pioneer Sugar corporate logo print is sharp, bright, and fully intact. Please note the handle composite has a slightly dirty/darkened look from long-term storage, but it has been thoroughly cleaned up as good as possible and presents beautifully.

​The Mechanism: The lockback mechanism engages tightly with an early, secure lockup and an excellent factory snap.
