The Zippo story starts all the way back in the 1930's in Pennsylvania, a gentleman by the name of Mr Blaisdell recognised the need for high quality, durable lighters, as at the time there was only the cumbersome, Austrian made models. From this need the Zippo lighter was born, and to this day the name runs hand in hand with good quality and eye catching designs.
