Vintage Zippo Lighters

   Only a few months ago a person paid more than $11,000 for a Classic Zippo lighter in an on-line auction.  The message is clear – Old and Rare Vintage Zippo Lighters are still a hot commodity.

  The lighter, described as an "early square Zippo with external hinge," fetched $11,758.98 when the bidding was all said and done.
  The first bid came in at $10. But 42 bids later from 19 separate bidders raised the price 1,000 times the original bid in the exciting week-long E-Bay auction.

   Zippo lighters gained their biggest popularity increase during World War 2 by making lighters with the insignias of all navy vessels. These were highly prized by those serving on those ships.

  After the war, Zippo became the billboard of America as an advertising medium for any company.
  Orders for as little as 50 lighters were all you needed to have Zippo design a lighter with your own logo. Zippo lighters were used to commemorate special events, political campaigns and all kinds of sports.

  Zippo continues today, as it has always, with the very best, no questions asked warranty in the world.

  These brand new Zippo Lighters bring back the yester-years of Zippo Manufacturing.
  They span the years from the early 30's through the 70's.

  These unique Vintage Lighters are truly a blast from the past.
