Zippo Lighters
Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932, the Zippo windproof lighter is pure American ingenuity—one-handed, dependable, and unmistakable from the first "click," backed by the promise that still stands today: "it works or we fix it free." World War II sealed its legend, when Zippo gave its entire output to American servicemembers and the lighter became known as "the GI's friend." And for anyone who came up before cell phones, it owns another memory entirely—thumb on the wheel, flame held high above the crowd as the band eased into the encore. Between the classic print ads and the endless run of advertising, military, and commemorative lighters, Zippo is one of the deepest collecting fields going—each piece here an authentic slice of that history.
