Based on the date coding, this is definitely a 1958 Zippo....which is good because '58 was the Giants' first year in SF
 But Willie didn't sign his name like that in 1958, so it must have been engraved later

I was just stating that the general consensus now is that these are likely from the 1940's (with some earlier and some a little later). However, nobody (literally nobody) can tell the difference between 1937 paper and 1944 paper. So without stamps and other evidence we will never know for sure. I think personally they were issued over a period of time so they could very well be examples that date to the late 1930's, but clearly some were issued a bit later. I doubt we will ever know for sure but they are clear, old and really nice examples for sure! Some have a more sepia tone and are clearly earlier. When we first started selling these we listed the ones with a clearly older "feel" as vintage 1 and the others as vintage 2. To be safe we now just call them all vintage 2. I doubt a definitive answer will ever come to the surface but we can hope. We all learn as we go and I learn new stuff everyday about vintage photos and photographers.
I think they were issued over a period of time, starting in the 1930's and ending in the 1950's.

Thanks for that explanation. I appreciate the insight and it does confirm what I thought about them as well

Charlie "Many Hit" Robertson playing day signed cut
It seems like I continue to pick up unusual Charlie Robertson related items in 2017.
Many thanks to net54's Jeff Potter for selling me this unusual playing day autograph cut of CWS perfect game pitcher Charlie Robertson.  Charlie was obviously having some fun when he signed this ledger or team sheet most likely sometime between 1922-1928. Instead of Charlie, he instead signed it "Many Hit" Robertson, which is an obvious wink that prior to signing it he hurled a no-hit, no-run game that was the first game to ever be called a "perfect game" by the newspaper scribes the next day.
