This is a ZIPPO lighter featuring a design of the Canadian maple leaf. The brushed chrome ZIPPO, with fine lines, is engraved with a maple leaf and finished with vivid colors that evoke the beauty of autumn leaves.
The design also includes the word “Canada,” highlighting its Canadian theme. The maple leaf, featured on Canada’s national flag, is a quintessential symbol of the country. Canada’s autumn foliage is renowned for its stunning beauty and vast natural landscapes, attracting numerous tourists from around the world.
This ZIPPO was manufactured in Canada, the only country outside the United States to host a ZIPPO factory. Since the Canadian factory closed in 2002, ZIPPO lighters made there have become increasingly valuable in the secondhand market.
The bottom of this lighter bears the engraving “NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO,” marking it as a product of ZIPPO’s Canadian factory located in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The same engraving is also found on the inside unit.
The bottom of the lighter in the listed photos is stamped with “B XVI” (indicating February 2000), and the inside unit carries the same manufacturing date code.
The set includes a warranty card and user manual written in both English and French, reflecting Canada’s official languages.
