Since 1933, Zippo lighters have been lighting fires with style, ease and individuality.
The company, which initially expanded the current design from an early Austrian
windproof lighter model, is noted around the world for having a unique style, feeling
and effectiveness. Not only is the patented Zippo lighter shape one of the most
recognizable shapes in the world, but the style of the lighters is adaptable for each buyer.
In 1935, the Zippo lighter could be engraved individually with a buyer's initials,
adding style to an already highly classy product. The personalization of the
Zippo lighter made it a great gift and a fun toy for many.
Zippo made their lighters even more popular in 1936 when they started placing corporate logos and American icons on the lighters. Companies leapt at the opportunity to put their own style of one of America's most favorite and classic products. The customization of the Zippo lighter soon made it one of America's most favorite collectable items. People would attempt to collect Zippo lighters with as many different company logos on them as possible.
Today, the Zippo lighter company has manufactured over 400 million different Zippo lighters. Each lighter comes with a unique stamp on the bottom of the casing, adding style and authenticity to the product. The stamp either reads "Bradford, PA" or "Niagra Falls" as these are the two locations where authentic Zippo lighters are produced.

The company also allows buyers to hand craft their design. With over 20 different design styles to choose from,
Zippo works are to ensure that each Zippo lighter recipient receives the style that they desire.
In addition to the classic silver finish that many Zippo lighters have, Zippo has also
expanded the color selection so that buyers can choose not only the style, but also
the customized color for their Zippo lighters.
