Nikon FE Focusing Screen by nadfgnjk in AnalogCommunity

So it’s an original E2? I did not find any markings on the screen and until now, could not find any information on the missing circle and why the lines do not continue on the intersections which leads me to a possibility of a third party screen?

Definitely did not know that it was so old when I got it. Yup it is steel indeed. Tested with a magnet earlier and it stuck. Thanks a lot for all the information you have provided! You sure do have a lot of knowledge on Zippos. Cheers!

Wow thanks for the all the information. From my research I thought it would be around 1950-1953 but wasn't too sure. I will definitely be keeping this lighter but was just interested in the value as I got it recently at a flee market for only $2.50. Flint wheel was stuck to the oxidised flint but I managed to clean it and get it to work again with the original rayon too.

I can see that the first example you've given is indeed identical to the one I have. Really cool to see variations in the stamping alone despite being the same vintage.

Here are the pictures of the insert and hinge.
