OPPS30Description
John McClane's (Bruce Willis) Zippo lighter from Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2. In addition to lighting his cigarettes, McClane used his Zippo to light two torches that he used to try to guide Windsor 114 to a safe landing, and later, to ignite the fuel leaking from the escaping terrorists' plane, which caused it to explode. Upon release, Die Hard 2 became the largest pre-opening film based on box-office gross over six years before the release of Roland Emmerich's Independence Day. Though greeted with mixed reviews initially, it has since been reconsidered as a modern classic and one of the best action films of 1990. Originating from the personal collection of property master Mike Papac, this lot consists of a metal horizontal brushed chrome Zippo lighter, a brand classic since 1933. The lighter features a windproof guard around the wick and a stagnant flint possibly rusted in place from age. This lighter exhibits grime on the exterior. Dimensions: 5.75 cm x 4 cm x 1.5 cm (2.25" x 1.5" x 0.5") Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.Use
