This rare Town & Country
transitional Zippo from 1969 depicts George G. Blaisdell who invented the
Zippo lighter in 1932 and who founded the Zippo Manufacturing Company in
Bradford, Pennsylvania. He named the Zippo after the then recently
invented zipper.
Here is a 1962
President's Award Barcroft Zippo from "Mr. Zippo" to Jack Chellow,
probably a Zippo employee.
