Values of used Zippos are determined by condition, topic, and demand. Your bottom pictures are too blurry for me to give you the manufacture years.
Zippo will answer your questions and even repair your lighters for free. They are in Bradford, PA and have a web site and toll free number. You shouldn't have a problem researching a zippo.....if you try.
Thank you very much gentleman.the Santa fe drilling just has zippo with a small circle r . Rine has 3 vertical lines zippo 2 more vertical lines and a circle r
Picture 2 bottom look for some "dots" on each side of the Zippo.
Picture 3 - ( ||| Zippo || ) should be 1969 date code
Ok thank you very much and 2dots on left 1 on right

Incidentally, you can contact the company direct for information - Zippo lighters are guaranteed for life and you can send in your lighters and they will put them in working condition, they will also refit hinges if the tops have loosened up. They will NOT refinish or restore the outer cases, only the working parts. The only cost is the shipping cost, no hidden "handling" charges.
