Maker: Zippo 
Original Price: $0.74*
Worth Today: $18,000*

An old Zippo lighter might be worth a pretty penny, assuming that it’s in good condition and works. Zippo lighters first came out in 1933, and they cost less than a dollar (now, the price of a Zippo is $10-$14). The first one ever produced is located at the Zippo/Case Museum.

There are a few different Zippos from that first production year, including Tall, Gunmetal, Brass, Chrome, and more. These Zippos have sold for as high as $18,000 on auction sites. Though that price has spiked, most Zippos from that era will go for $400-$500, as wear and tear have likely made their condition less than pristine.
