{"title":"Zippo Lighters","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBorn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBrowse the collection below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Freebird!” – Every redneck at every live show, ever\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vintage-1960s-zippo-lighter-adrift-at-sea-print-advertisement-original-survival","title":"Vintage 1960s Zippo Lighter 'Adrift at Sea' Print Advertisement — Original Survival Story Ad","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApproximately 8 x 11 inches.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vintage 1960s Zippo lighter magazine advertisement tells the gripping true story of Tom 'Woody' Wood, adrift at sea off the Florida Keys with nothing but his $3.95 Zippo to signal the U.S. Coast Guard.
