Founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell. He was born on June 5, 1895, in Bradford. On the surface of it, young George Blaisdell hardly seemed like someone who would find success in the brutal years of the Depression. He had very little formal education. He hated school; walked out of fifth grade and told his family he wasn’t going back.
Zippo has been manufacturing lighters in the US since 1932. The Pennsylvania company founded by George Blaisdell has now manufactured over 425 million lighters since its inception just over 75 years ago. All Zippo lighters are backed by a lifetime warranty.
For almost 75 years," It works or we fix it free" has been the creed by which Zippo has built and guaranteed its lighters.
We do not deliver outside the USA.
