A piece of history: The storyof Zippo Manufacturing Company is the story of its people, from the founder, George G. Blaisdell, to the many Zippo employees, customers, and collectors whohave played a part in its 80-year history. Their loyalty to Zippo has made thisone of America’s great companies, one with a vivid history which is detailedhere. The Zippo timeline begins in the early1930s, at the Bradford Country Club in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Mr. Blaisdellwatched a friend awkwardly using a cumbersome Austrian-made lighter. Thelighter worked well, even in the wind, due to the design of the chimney. Butits appearance was utilitarian. Its use required two hands, and its thin metalsurface dented easily. Late in 1932, he decided to refashionthe Austrian lighter. Mr. Blaisdell fabricated a rectangular case and attachedthe top of the lighter to the case with a hinge. He retained the chimney designwhich protected the flame under adverse conditions. The result was a lighterthat looked good and was easy to operate. The first Zippo lighter, currentlydisplayed at the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, was produced in early 1933 andsold for $ 1.95 each. And, from the very beginning, they were backed by Mr.Blaisdell’s unconditional lifetime guarantee – “It works or we fix it free. ™”The name “Zippo” was created by Mr. Blaisdell. He liked the sound of the word“zipper” so he formed different variations of the word and settled on “Zippo, ”deciding that it had a “modern” sound. The design of the Zippo lighter remainsbasically the same to this day, with minor improvements. In the mid-30s, Bradford’s KendallRefining Company placed an order for 500 Zippo lighters. These are believed tobe the first company-advertised lighters produced by Zippo and are highlycollectible. Today, companies continue to use Zippo lighters as an advertisingmedium and Zippo “advertiser” lighters continue to be among collectors’favorites.In 2012, during its 80th anniversaryyear, Zippo production surpassed the milestone of 500 million lighters since Mr.Blaisdell crafted the first lighter in early 1933. The lighter is ingrained inthe fabric of both American and global culture. In marketing parlance, thebrand enjoys an unaided awareness rate of more than 98 percent. That means 98out of every 100 people surveyed have knowledge of the Zippo name and lighterwithout being coached in any manner – an astonishing recognition factor. Today, though most products are simplydisposable or available with limited warranties, the Zippo lighter is stillbacked by its famous lifetime guarantee, “It works or we fix it free.™” In morethan 80 years, no one has ever spent a cent on the mechanical repair of a Zippolighter regardless of the lighter’s age or condition.(source: zippo official site)COMMUNICATION/FEEDBACK:Communication between buyer and seller is veryimportant, so please contact us for any question about the item that you areinterested in or any problem you may have with the item that you bought.
