Deer on Zippos

[1] [2]


Deer images began to appear on Zippos in the early 1950's. The Sports Series' hunting, fishing and other outdoor themes became popular, and deer designs first appeared on the hand-painted Town & Country Zippos. Some of the Zippos on this page from the 1950's through the 70's have prototype designs as do the later deer Zippos on the next page

1976 slim prototype Zippo with an more abstract deer head design.
The three Zippos above are unique prototypes.
These designs never went into production. From
left to right: a 1977 on matte finish case, a 1978
on a high polish case, and a 1978 on a brass case.
 

The five above Zippos are dated 1971, 1972, 1976, 1977 and 1981 all have a silkscreen image of a deer with the bush and sky as background.  There are appear to be prototypes as there are slight differences between the impressions.  The 1981 Zippo has the name "Fred Kemick" engraved on the reverse.
