From July 1986 until 2001, Zippo® stamped a letter (A-L) and a Roman numeral (II-XVI) to represent a batch code for the month and year the lighter was made. The letters were A for January, B for February, etc. The Roman numeral denoted the year, where 1986 was denoted with II (2). A Zippo® made in 1990 would therefore be stamped with VI.

The numbers "J" and "XIV" on a Zippo lighter indicate its manufacturing date. The letter "J" corresponds to the month of October, while "XIV" represents the year 2014 in Roman numerals. This code helps collectors and users identify when the lighter was produced. Zippo lighters have a distinct dating system that allows for easy reference to their age.
The "A" before "ZIPPO" on your lighter indicates that it was made in the United States, as the letter designates the manufacturing location. The "11" after it represents the model number or a specific design/style of the lighter. Together, these elements help identify the production details and authenticity of your Zippo lighter.
