A photographic history of the family-owned Pennsylvania company that became a household name and a global success story. The Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in 1932 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, by George G. Blaisdell, who designed the first Zippo lighter in 1933; since then, Zippo has produced nearly four hundred million lighters. The product line eventually expanded to include tape measures and pocket knives. Zippo entered the specialty advertising market in 1935, when the Kendall Refinery ordered five hundred lighters that displayed its name—and since then, the Zippo lighter has become a commemorative showcase for corporate logos, special events, and famous places throughout the United States and around the world. Zippo has been owned and operated by the Blaisdell family for more than seventy years. Zippo Manufacturing Company contains photographs of the Blaisdells, the Zippo Riders, the Zippo ski slope, the Zippo car, special-edition lighters, and scenes from the town of Bradford. Zippo archives and private collections have yielded rare photographs of Zippo employees at work, company and collector events, and other highlights in the company's history—making for a lively journey though this unique piece of American culture.

This book showcases the engravings made by U.S. soldiers on their lighters during the height of the conflict, from 1965 to 1973. Sherry Buchanan tells the fascinating story of how the Zippo became a talisman and companion for American GIs during their tours of duty. We see how Zippo lighters were used during the war, and we discover how they served as a canvas for both personal and political expression during the Age of Aquarius engraved with etchings and slogans steeped in all the rock lyrics, sound bites, combat slang, and antiwar mottos of the time.
