    Description

    Up for auction/sale is a vintage Phillips 66 Zippo Magnifier which has two retractable viewers set at two different magnifications. I can't date this piece specifically, but from the Zippo Magnifiers I reviewed, I found mostly dates referencing the 70s and 80s.
    After a little research, I found one each of two other Phillips 66 style Zippo Magnifiers (one was for Philgas and one represened a specific division), but this was the only one featuring just the Phillips 66 colored logo. Since I was unable to locate any of these using Google, Bing, and eBay,
    along with reading several descriptions about these Magnifier's, I believe this may be a salesman's sample piece, but it would explain the rarity.
    The magnifier casing show some minor wear and light scuffing, but there are no scratches or damage to the case, and the acrylic lenses are clean. Not an expert, but I suspect the lens magnifications are about 5x and 10x. The case is roughly 1.5" square, with the useful lens areas being 1" square.
    I have described this Zippo Magnifier as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images from varying angles to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
    This will be packaged with care to best ensure this rarely offered Zippo Phillips 66 item arrives as pictured and described.
