PIXAR beyond rare WALL-E, Wall*E story TEAM/CREW only LE zippo lighter

Description: i started at pixar in 2004 and walle was the first real show i worked on, animating the storyboards. originally it was much different from how it eventually turned out.the humans were green, gelatinous blobs (outer space = loss of bone mass) who could barely speak english.at the very beginning it was going to be silent or have very minimal dialogue. that didn't fly with the brain trust.then for a while their language was very, er lazy; for example,"skruddah mah boot" would roughly translate to 'kiss my grits'.and for reasons i don't remember w.a.l.-e was changed to wall*e. fun fact- there was some worry about this because in australia wally is slang for pecker..anyway. this zippo lighter was given to the story and editorial teams (solely i believe- though it is possible is was given to the animators as well..) at the completion of production. so i'm guessing only a couple hundred of these were ever made. do a google search and see if you can find one... you'll find BnL versions mentioned/pictured on reddit and Etsy. you will not find this one.. so i'm guessing maybe between 100 to 400 IN THE WORLD, tops. i HATE to sell this but circumstances have forced my hand. and the price is ridiculous, i know. oh well, skruddah mah boot. there are some pretty minor surface scratches/scuffs that would probably polish out but there are 3 or 4 dots of micro pitting?... (its been sitting in a drawer for 15 plus years... ) as stated above, this has been used before (for a short period of time) so it it not minty. just beyond rare.. but *please*, study the pictures which were taken in 2 or 3 different types of light... the last 2 pictures are only offered as proof that i worked there and are not included. feel free to ask for additional evidence..and as always, holler with any questions or requests,d walle, wall*e, wall e, wall-e, Wall•E, wall·E
