Zippo – The Lighter That Won’t Quit

Few products are as instantly recognizable—or as dependable—as a Zippo. With their signature "click," windproof flame, and lifetime guarantee, Zippos have become a symbol of American reliability and timeless design.

History

Founded in 1932 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Zippo was born from the desire to create a lighter that was both functional and stylish. George G. Blaisdell took inspiration from an Austrian design, improving it to create the flip-top, metal-cased lighter we know today.

The brand’s big break came during World War II when Zippo supplied lighters to U.S. military personnel. Durable, wind-resistant, and easy to refill, they quickly earned their reputation as a soldier’s essential. After the war, Zippo became a household name, and their lighters evolved into collectible items, often featuring engravings, logos, or limited-edition designs.

What They Offer

  • Classic Windproof Lighters: The heart of the brand. Metal-body, flip-top, and refillable with lighter fluid—these are made to last a lifetime.
  • Butane Inserts & Multi-Fuel Options: Modern updates that improve performance while keeping the classic Zippo silhouette.
  • Custom Designs: From polished brass to powder-coated graphics, Zippo offers a huge range of finishes and limited runs that appeal to collectors and everyday users alike.
  • Made in the USA: Still produced in Bradford, PA with American materials and craftsmanship.

Zippo lighters aren’t just tools—they’re heirlooms, workhorses, and conversation starters. Whether you’re lighting a campfire, firing up the grill, or just flipping it open for that satisfying *click*, a Zippo feels like it belongs in your hand.
