VINTAGE 1959 SLIM ZIPPO CIGARETTE LIGHTER HODGSON CONCRETE MONTGOMERY AL
Item History & Price
Vintage 1959 Zippo Slim Cigarette Lighter
Hodgson Concrete
You are bidding on a vintage 1959 Zippo Slim Cigarette Lighter.
The front of the lighter bears the image of a Concrete Truck stamped to brass and reads, "Hodgson Concrete."
Founded in 1898 by James Hodgson the company delivered raw materials to job sites using hose & mule-drawn carts. During the 1900's as vehicle production progressed, they began using trucks. As each generation too...k over the reins of the company, they incorporated new ideas and innovations to it's ever expanding product line and the third generation still serves Alabama.
The bottom of the lighter bears the date code for 1959 ensuring us that the lighter was manufactured in 1959.
The last photo(8th photo) shows one of the Hodgson concrete trucks in the 1950's. This photo is NOT part of the listing and is only shown to give you an idea of the type of vehicles Hodgson used in the 50's for their concrete business.
The lighter has been used and fired. The flint wheel spins around & around easily, but did not grab or spark, leading me to believe that it needs a new flint and fluid.
The lid opens and closes with the distinctive "Zippo snap." The lid does have wobble.
The lighter measures 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" and bears the expected surface marks from age, normal use and pocket wear. The advertising is clear and sharp.
This vintage Zippo Slim lighter date coded 1959 and bearing advertising for Hodgson Concrete, will be a fine addition to any collection of vintage Zippos or Advertising memorabilia.
