Zippo 2024 Collectible of the Year No. 46026

$150. I’ve never been a fan of the Venetian pattern and won’t be getting this one. Black matte finish is nice though. I’m wondering which was “the very first Deep Carve design unveiled in 2004.” Shilly-Shally came out in 2003, but I guess that wasn’t truly Deep Carve? Maybe they mean Carved Elegance No. 20757 and Carved Columns No. 20771, both of which came out in 2004 (pdf).

“The 2024 Collectible of the Year celebrates three Zippo milestones in an incredible display of artistry. Introduced as the Florentine in 1974, the iconic Venetian® pattern swirls on all sides of the Armor® case with our Laser Engrave process. The ornate design stands in gorgeous contrast to the Black Matte finish, which made its debut in 1984, while the Zippo icon is nestled among diagonal MultiCut pinstripes in an ode to the very first Deep Carve design unveiled in 2004.”
