Shelia's Keeping The History Alive
Elegantly created wooden sculptures present historically significant Zippo buildings, each of which showcases a unique Zippo lighter depicting a portion of the structure in exquisite detail. Each is extremely limited to just 1500 identically numbered/serialized sets. Each set includes information on the property and its historic significance in the Zippo legacy. The lighter, protected by a clear glassine sleeve, is framed by the building sculpture and is removable. A beautiful piece of art and first-ever collectible of its kind, each set comes with a hand numbered certification brochure and is packaged in a tuck-and-fold gift box with satin aluminum, issue-coded nameplate.
Issue 1: Philo Blaisdell House
Philo Blaisdell was born in Winterport, Maine in 1858. He came to Bradford in 1891 to run the Standard Wood Company, a family enterprise which supplied firewood to most of the larger cities on the East Coast. This Bradford home was built in 1894 on the corner of Blaisdell Avenue and Congress Street. On June 5, 1895 Philo and his wife Sarah celebrated the birth of their son George. In 1903 Philo founded the Blaisdell Machinery Co., selling it in 1917. His son George was a co-owner of the Blaisdell Oil Company when in 1933 he introduced a lighter that worked, even in a breeze. Intrigued be the name of the recently-invented zipper, he called his new lighter Zippo.
