Description

A mini tape measure and keychain branded to SWACO. The tape measure is made of a silver metal and dark grey plastic and is square in shape. The face of the tape measure displays a black and orange logo with text reading, "SWACO". The "A" in "SWACO" divides the logo between the two colours. A small black maple leaf sits to the right of the logo. The bottom of the tape measure displays debossed text in the plastic reading, "Zippo / NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO". The measuring tape is white with black text and lines. The keychain is a small, thin cylinder with two ring attachments. It is made of the same material as the tape measure and displays the same logo on the front face. The rings can be moved along the circumference of the cylinder. A rectangular, white piece of paper with black and blue text and designs branded to Zippo, press into the box along with the tape measure and keychain. The box is cardboard, covered with shiny gold paper for the lid and shiny black paper for the container. The lid displays a black logo for Zippo, placed at the bottom right corner of the top face. The interior of the box holds two velvet inserts, which have been moulded to fit the tape measure and keychain.
