12/07/2007

Zippo Lighters have come a long way since their introduction to society in the 1930's. In fact Zippo is now being recognized by society as an official icon of America. It's no wonder why almost anyone recognized the Zippo name, just last year Zippo produced it's four hundred millionth lighter in Bradford, PA! Zippo is not just collected by Tobacco smokers but has evolved into a hobby picked up by all age groups, all ethical backgrounds, and all walks of life. The Zippo Manufacturing Company can be found in the small town of Bradford located in Pennsylvania producing thousands of lighters a day shipped all over the world. The Zippo Lighter is an oil fueled flint ignition-ed lighter with guaranteed performance backed by it's lifetime warranty certificate provided with every Zippo case. With thousands of different designs, it's not surprising why Zippo has become an American Icon in modern day America.
