The box has the lighter in a plastic cover in the box. We did not find any paperwork with the box. The face has an engraving under the emblem that reads " CJH ". The inside has a white wick with no signs of being fired. We tried the strike wheel and it appears to have a flint installed with a strong spark. We did not fuel or test the lighter. The bottom stamp has " D ZIPPO VIII BRADFORD PA. MADE IN U.S.A. ". Please study photos as they are part of the item description. The lighter will be shipped in a sturdy box with plenty of packing materials.
