This thread got me to looking around, for preferably an older one. Found this on EBay. Seller wrote they "couldn't read the engraved name" on the reverse but I could and it sounded familiar - I'm guessing others here may know the name too. Last name for sure.

The top had separated from the bottom, repaired that. The flint was deteriorated inside its hole and I had to clean it out. No flint spring or screw, grabbed them at a local store. Wick was fine.

I looked around to see if it was a general issue or commemorative type, found nothing.

I know using a Zippo for cigars isn't best but will use it once in a while.
