Product Details
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Zippo Lighter is a refillable, metal lighter manufactured by Zippo Manufacturing Company. They are frequently collected and hundreds of different styles and designs have been made in the seven decades since their introduction.
Zippo lighters gained popularity as “windproof” lighters—able to stay lit in harsh weather. They became popular in the United States military, especially during World War II—when all Zippo lighters produced went to the Allied war effort—and during the Vietnam War.
The way a Zippo lighter is constructed makes it very hard to extinguish by trying to blow out or wink out the flame. The proper way to extinguish the lighter is to close the top half, which starves the flame of oxygen. Rapidly closing the top lid produces a loud and easily recognizable clicking sound for which Zippo lighters are known.
