Reusable windproof lighters manufactured in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
George G. Blaisdell founded Zippo in Bradford during the Depression. He refined an Austrian lighter into a windproof case with a hinged lid and backed it with a simple repair promise.
Three products that define Zippo.
The standard refillable flint lighter.
A flatter case based on the wartime design.
A heavier case intended for deep engraving.
The claim follows the product line, not just the logo.
