Zippo had knives made by several different companies prior to thier purchase of CASE. It is possible that it is a CASE knife, but you would have to compare it to a known CASE to positively Identify it. Hope that helps

IIRC, My Zippo sales rep in the 1980s, told me that Zippo made the money clips, key rings & other "pocket jewelry" type knives.

Here is one that my sales rep, Bill Feldhaus, gave me before he retired in the early 1990s, after 50 years with Zippo.
