Nickle-silver case turned into a copper color? [not mine]
I saw this zippo online and it appears to be a nickel-silver case, from 1946 judging from the uneven barrels in the hinge, matching the type B bottom stamp (as per glenzippo). The insert is a correct 14-hole, with horizontal teeth at the flint wheel and a rounded cam.
I have never seen a case as oxidised as this one, so I am wondering if anyone else has seen something like it. It looks like a badly rusted steel case, at first sight, which is why it caught my eye.
