Description

A stainless steel pocket knife branded to Pason and made by Zippo. The pocket knife comes in a small cardboard box. The lid of the box is black with small gold embossment at the bottom right corner reading, "zippo" with the 'z' and 'i' connected to each other and the dot in the 'i' is a little flame. The base of the box is gold with a velvet moulded base for the pocket knife to rest inside the box. The pocket knife is medium sized with a blue oval on the front and blue stylized text reading, "Pason". When opened, the knife is small in comparison to the handle and has etched text at the base of the front reading, "zippo USA / BRADFORD, PA.". The back of the knife base has etched text reading, "STAINLESS". To close the knife, the user must press the latch at the top right of the knife handle. Inside the box, tucked between the box and the velvet base, is a small piece of paper. The paper base is white with a blue patterned border. The paper is a long, horizontal rectangle that is folded, and opens to a larger piece of paper. The front of the paper, when folded, feature blue text at the top reading, "zippo" and has decorated dashes on the left and right of the text. Below is stylized black and white text reading, "GUARANTEE", with smaller black text, filling the paper. At the bottom is red text, "Please read reverse side." The inside of the paper, when folded open, features black illustrations of instructions on how to open and close the knife with black text underneath.
