The Zippo Lighter is about as American as apple pie. The first Zippo Lighter was produced in 1933 in Bradford, Pennsylvania by George G. Blaisdell. The first Zippo was sold for $1.95. WW2 came along and was instrumental in making the Zippo Lighter an American icon throughout the world.
Even if you are not a smoker, the Zippo lighter is a useful item, its windproofing making it great for lighting barbeques and campfires. I love the sheer variety of choice, and would not be without my 'Camel' Zippo. Whether you want an individualised lighter for smoking, or you collect these wonderful pieces, this article about the Zippo Lighter is essential reading.
