Same date on the upper case and insert
Wow! Amazing Pick. You're lucky to have found a rare piece because the date on both the insert and the outer case is the same!
All about luck dear🙏🏼
Can I ask what makes this rare? It's a 2021 model, why WOULDN'T the insert and case be matching?
It's not "rare". However, cases and inserts are slapped together. I use this example a lot but a user here got a new Zippo with a '90s Niagara Falls insert.
I've had inserts "match", had them a year apart, had them in the same year, it's pretty random.
As the inserts and case are made separately, chances of getting the same date (both month and year) on case and insert is quite slim. Zippo also mentioned it on one of their websites.
Can you please elaborate what you want to ask??? Because I don't think 2021 models have any difference from the old models. And the inserts and cases are manufactured separately sso there are rare chances to get the same. Have you received the same like this?
Does 2021 models have the same inserts and cases on every product? I wasn't well aware because I have seen videos where the inserts and cases are all different. I have received the same, for this reason I have mentioned the hashtag rare.

Weird, I have about 13 Zippos, and I'll be honest I haven't checked ALL but the 3-5 I have checked are matching cases to the insert
Maybe I'm just extremely lucky lol
Yes. You can cheat a little if you've got a few from roughly the same time of year...since the inserts are all interchangeable, you can always "match between items on hand", and it'll still work out in the end...but the more you've got to pick through, the greater your chances are of making those matches. d;o)
Niiiiiice 👌
So the value is increased because this? Like a numbers matching classic car?
You're in it now! That's ONE IN A ROW!!! \\=^D
I remember my 1st zippo .... orange one from Walmart camping section .
Still have it too among many others
It's rare (nowadays) on regular Zippo for both to match, but actually not that rare for 1941 Replica since it has a distinctive insert.
The manufacturing process/schedule for both, the 1941 Replica insert and case, would be close to each other, unlike the regular insert that would be made in more quantities since it will go to more varieties of cases. Just an observation by me.
