Zippo lighters

As we know, many people have collected something during of their life. It’s a simple hobby and you can be also among these people.

First at all you should decide which things will complete your collection. I can suggest you to collect cigarette accessories like: cigarette cases, cigarettes lighters, cigarette ashtrays and so on.

Your collection will grow in time. You can select unusual things for your collection when you will travel or simple when you will go shopping or visit a pub.
You can collect Zippo lighters also, but in this case it isn’t necessary to be a smoker. You can be a non-smoker but like fashionable things.
I will relate about some historical events in Zippo lighter life.

The first Zippo lighter was produced in 1932. It had rectangular shape with a hinged lid. It had a hood for protecting the flame at the wind.
As we know, George Blaisdell designed the shape for the first Zippo lighter 75 years ago. He had the idea to promote this kind of lighter with the help of a well-dressed man who tried to light his cigarette with a voluminous lighter.

After some time, he developed his own lighter line. This kind of cigarette lighter had a small shape and they could be kept in the hand. He added a hinge to make easier the opening of the lighter. Moreover, this lighter could be open with the help of one hand only.

Nowadays, Zippo Company has produced not only well-know Zippo lighters but also: key holders, money clips, and tape measures, ball pens and so on. In addition, Zippo lighters can have different shapes like: Santa Claus face, dartboard, smiley face, etc.

You can also present a gift for your friends who are starting their own collection. More than that, you can interchange your collection with other collectors around the world.
