2007 Camel Wides Zippo Lighter – Green - Unstruck

Description

This zippo was produced for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and was sold in the online employee store.
Due to the Master Settlement agreement signed in 1998, signatory tobacco companies, including R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, were prohibited from selling brand logoed merchandise to the public.
After the souvenir shop closed, an online employee store operated briefly before it was closed due to the impending Tobacco Control Act of 2009 which prohibited all tobacco companies from providing
any
brand logoed merchandise to employees or the public in the US.
This lighter is truly among the last of its kind to be manufactured for the US.
I have not seen this lighter appear on eBay in quite a while.
This lighter is new in its original box with the orange sticker still attached.
The sticker was not moved to photograph the lighter.
The lighter is printed in green over a brass Zippo shell (Mfg. date of July 2007). This is the vertical version of the “tattoo” style logo; a horizontal version also exists.
The lighter will ship protected by bubble wrap in a USPS mailing box.
