Zippo Lighter

So I just found a Zippo Lighter in my car which I bought 6 months ago in a secret compartment. I contact the person who I bought it off and it isn't his. It is silver but no hallmarked (silver plated maybe) It has the initials J.M.28 on the bottom. How much do you reckon its worth?

what else was in the compartment?

I'd go with not much, unless it's a limited edition (and it doesn't sound like it's anything other than bog-standard) then I doubt it'll be worth any significant sum at all.

I need this to complete my collection!

Bogstandard, they are about £20, (although it's been years since I bought one).

Have a look here, some of them go into the hundreds.

That happened in my ZS, except there was just some watch innards, and a tiny bit of weed in a bag. Quality.

Most likely nothing.

Give me a fiver and I'll take it off your hands.

JM28 is probably the manufacture date code.

Not if it is a real Zippo
