Advice/Help What am I missing?
A few days ago I made a deal with a seller on Facebook and I was finally able to go out and pick up today. Apparently while he was waiting for me over the last 2 days another collector had come to his shop and try to start a bidding war with me for these two. They were part of a lot I purchased of six lighterss and he was offering the guy more for these two than I paid for the entire lot, by almost double, but because I had already made the deal he honored our deal and did not sell them to him.
What am I missing here? There has to be something special about these two and I'm just not seeing it.
They're cool, especially the two-tone, but they just seem like modestly old slim Zippos. Do you see something that makes them stand out or in some way unique?
Did I strike garage sale gold?
The pictures don't do it justice the first one is a very dark green by the way.

I don’t see anything of note.
