The vast
majority of Town & Country designs were engraved on Zippos
with a high-polish finish. The application of the paint
gradually evolved from painting by hand to silkscreen-type
processes through the 1960's, 1969 is the last year of
manufacture of so-called "Town & Country" models, most
notable one being the Apollo 11 Moonlanding Zippo.
