I think it may be for one of those giant CIGARS.

I think it is a store display item.
Neat finding a cig lighter for the Jolly Green Giant.

To bad it don't have Zippo markings on it or I'd send it in to get refurbished

Possible evidence of a bigfoot in the area. Sasquatches are known to have a love of fine cigars. I once stumbled upon a trampled down area with a stone fire ring, found four cigar butts the size of a broom handle. Also found an empty bourbon bottle, had to be a gallon. Looked off toward the trees and saw what I thought was a coffee can lid, nope, to my surprise, it was a condom. Them bigfoots know how to party.
I set up a trail camera and baited the area with nacho's, dip and beef jerky. Nothing yet but it's a weekday, hoping to get some pics this weekend. I'll keep ya informed.

That's the giant lighter I used to try to get from the crane machines at the carnival. They always had one of those in at least one machine. ...but yours is probably from Bigfoot. 
Nice dig!

They were actually made as a novelty item. I have one in mint condition. I collect zippos and my stepson got it for me for Father’s Day one year. I will try to post a photo later today or tomorrow.

Nice find. I just watched a guy YouTube restore one that was in worse shape than yours. It turned out really good.
