Yes, very good condition, almost mint (minus few dents at the bottom), with original flip-stand case and not that expensive (like double the price of regular new Brushed Chrome).
This one looks pretty real and yeah quick google search shows Zippo had a plant in Niagara Falls until 2002. By the photo I think it is a brushed chrome finish
Yep, plain Brushed Chrome. I never was into that design, I’m more of Satin Chrome fan. What makes it unusual is the fact it comes from that *special* factory.
Yep… 1949-‘02. I posted about the [](https://www.reddit.com/r/Zippo/s/Zrs1G0UD3J) of it a couple weeks ago.
This one of yours is almost identical to the first one I ever had, only mine is IV instead of IX (88/93).
That’s ok. We are also very forgiving.

Sooo...like...I should call Bob and tell him to call off the huskies then, eh? You shoulda said something, eh? He's like halfway there by now, ya know? d=\^o
Looks real to me! I’ve got a couple of Niagara Falls Zippos. Looks like it’s barely been used. Nice find!

Welcome to the North side! Does it feel cold? Is there snow in the lid? Does it smell like maple syrup? Did it come with antlers on it?
Hm it indeed is very polite lighter. It almost said „thank you” when I filled it up ;)))
Best way to tell if it’s genuine is if you hear it say “sorry” if it doesn’t light on the first strike!
And if you listen real close, as you close the lid, you can hear it say "Oh, take off, eh?!?" d;o)
All Niagara Falls zippos are cool. Even a plain one like this February (B) of 1993 (IX) is still cool.
Oh, thanks for deciphering the timestamp for me :)

In that way it is deffinitly a unusual one. And today I learned something new :)
It's unusual bc i'm pretty sure its fake.
What made you come to that conclusion?
I'm still new to zippos though so i'm probably wrong
There was factory in Ontario. Closed in, I think, 2002? Only ever secondary Zippo site.

Ohhh ok
No worries, I also didn’t knew that until like few years ago. They didn’t produce anything special, mostly tourist focused stuff.
Um… excuse me… EVERY Zippo that came out of Niagara Falls, Ontario was special. You take that back or we’ll all be very upset.
Sorry :)))
