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.

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.

Zippo Manufacturing Company is known for producing windproof pocket lighters that always work, but golf balls? Actually, since 1960 the company's promotional products division has offered a wide range of items that do not produce a flame, including pocketknives, writing instruments, key holders and yes, even golf balls! Each of these top quality products had the capability to be imprinted with any company's logo and all carried Zippo's famous lifetime guarantee. Inside these pages lie an outlined, comprehensive study and documentation of Zippo's "other" product lines accompanied, by hundreds of colorful photographs. What items were offered, when they were introduced, how they evolved, when they were discontinued and why, are all topics addressed. Volume 1 is the first half of this story and covers the 1960s and 1970s in their entirety. Additional sections also included discuss Zippo's Art Department, product finishes and imprinting processes employed, plus a look at Zippo Canada. "And You Thought Zippo Only Made Lighters" will prove to be an invaluable reference to anyone with an interest in Zippo as it is the first published work to focus exclusively on the company's non-lighter product lines. True Zippo collectors will appreciate discovering more about the company, the products, and their own collection.
