Zippo dating

[Bookworm]

I picked up two zippos today at a localish antique store, and one has no made-on date. One is an 04, which I know, but the other has a Cadillac-looking logo stuck on the front, and has no year stamp. The "Zippo" stamped into the bottom is a different font, it's italicized if that helps at all. Can anyone tell me what year this might be from?

pics up soon

if you go to the zippo home page they have a lot of info regarding dating the lighters. looks to me like the stamp on yours was used from '55 -79'.

thanks! It looks like the date code says it was either a 1961 or a first-quarter 1962.
