Brand source:
At 1932, George. Blaisdell, an American, invented a lighter with simple design, which is not affected by air pressure and low temperature, and named it Zippo. Inspired by another great invention at that time-zipper, it was named for the purpose of "working".
Four years later, the Zippo lighter was patented by the American government, and a smart rectangular shell was redesigned according to the original structure. The cover and fuselage are hinged, and a perforated windshield is added around the fire core. Since the early 1940s, Zippo lighters have become the munitions of the US military, and their instant hit and good windproof performance have made them have an excellent reputation among US military officers and men.
Extended data
Named design:
Since the birth of the first Zippo lighter, in order to distinguish the authenticity, Zippo lighter has never relaxed the anti-counterfeiting design of its products. Zippo lighters use identification codes to distinguish each lighter. Because each lighter has a different number, although the style of Zippo lighter is constantly changing, the logo of Zippo lighter will always be engraved on the bottom of the fuselage of Zippo lighter.
In the past 50 years, the bottom of every zippo lighter has been engraved with a code representing a specific meaning. In July 1986, 1, the old coding method was replaced by the new one. Arabic numerals stand for year, letters A-L stand for month, A stands for 1 month, and B stands for February.
