This is a lighter brand, very high-end
In 1932, American George Blaisdale saw a friend clumsily lighting a cigarette with a cheap Austrian lighter. , in order to cover up the embarrassing lighter, shrugged and said to him: "It is very practical!". Afterwards, Blaisdale invented a lighter with a simple design that was not affected by air pressure or low temperature. And named it ZIPPO, which was inspired by another great invention at the time - the zipper (ZIPPER), and was named with the purpose of "it works". Four years later, ZIPPO successfully obtained the patent rights from the U.S. government and redesigned the smart rectangular shell according to its original structure. The cover and the fuselage are connected by hinges, and overcame the design difficulties. The fire core is surrounded by a perforated wind wall designed for ventilation. In the early 1940s, ZIPPO became a munitions item for the U.S. Army. With the outbreak of World War II, American soldiers quickly fell in love with it. It was well-known among soldiers for its instant wear and excellent windproof performance. In fact, in the past few decades, ZIPPO's appearance has not changed much, and this patent has been developed almost perfectly. Every time you open the cover and light the fire core in strong winds, you will appreciate ZIPPO’s unique windproof design.
ZIPPO windproof lighter was originally designed with this in mind: it can satisfy you in any bad weather and when you need it. Facts have also proven this. On the smoke-filled battlefields of World War II, in violent storms, in the desert, and even wherever you need it, you will feel the excellent performance of ZIPPO. Like all ZIPPO lighters, our ZIPPO outdoor lighter series has the following features:
ZIPPO's hard shell can resist collisions with any substance.
A soldier saved his life because ZIPPO blocked bullets, but the ZIPPO was still easy to use. ZIPPO can withstand any immersion (even if your ZIPPO is completely soaked in water, its flame will satisfy you). When you light the ZIPPO in your hand, it will keep burning. So even on a cold winter night when your fingers are almost completely numb, you can use it to light that life-saving bonfire. ZIPPO's powerful, safe and reliable flame comes from the special liquid fuel it uses (not butane gas). Therefore, it can be easily lit and even kept lit for a long time in any bad weather. ZIPPO's principle - never superfluous.
We never resort to any "space age" polymer materials or high-tech ignition systems. Our goal: simple, sturdy and practical. ZIPPO can provide you with a safe and reliable fire source whenever you need it. The 0.27-inch-thick chrome-plated copper outer cover and the 0.18-inch-thick stainless steel lining make up the ZIPPO's sturdy outer shell; the fiberglass fire core permanently ensures burning reliability; the flint wheel can be used 73,000 times - ZIPPO's simplicity, solidity and practicality are reflected everywhere.
The ingenious windproof design makes ZIPPO world-famous.
But in fact, ZIPPO’s key technology lies in its flame itself. What is very different from other brands of lighters is that ZIPPO is not a gas lighter. Its fuel is a very stable petroleum extract. The flame produced by its combustion is not only safe and reliable, but also extremely clean and does not produce any pollution. This liquid fuel rests on a fiberglass movement hidden inside the windproof wall. In fact, ZIPPO burns like an oil lamp, which is why ZIPPO is so waterproof and wind-resistant.
ZIPPO identification code: Although the styles of ZIPPO lighters are constantly changing, the ZIPPO logo will always be engraved on the bottom of its body. For nearly fifty years, the bottom of every ZIPPO has been engraved with a code that represents a specific meaning.
On July 1, 1986, the following long-standing encoding methods were replaced by new ones. Roman numerals represent years, and letters A-L represent months (A for January, B for February...and so on).
