Zippo was founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 when George G.
Blaisdell decided to create a butane lighter that would look good and be easy
to use. Blaisdell obtained the rights for an Austrian windproof lighter
with a removable top, and re-designed it to his own requirements. He
made the case rectangular and attached the lid to the bottom with a
welded hinge, and surrounded the wick with a windhood. Fascinated by
another recent invention, the zipper, Blaisdell called his new lighter
"Zippo", and backed it with a Lifetime Guarantee.

 Zippo has produced over 400 million windproof lighters since its
founding in 1932. Except for improvements in the flint wheel and
modifications in case finishes, Blaisdell's original design remains practically unchanged to this day. The Lifetime Guarantee that accompanies every
Zippo lighter still guarantees that "It works or we fix it free".
