Introduced in 1947, the  Beechcraft Bonanza - with it's distinctive "V" shaped tail - has been in production longer than any other aircraft in history. Manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas, the Bonanza (specifically the Model S35) has always had a place on our list of beautiful designs.

This slim Zippo™ was manufactured in 1973 and was likely a promotional item meant for internal employees at Beechcraft. Lighter is functioning but will not be shipped with lighter fluid. 

Beautiful piece and excellent gift for an aviation enthusiast. Measures 2 1/8" tall x 1 1/8" width.
