    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 2: Bradford Country Club


    The former Bradford Country Club (now a private residence) was the setting on a muggy summer night 1932 for the spark that became the Zippo Windproof Lighter. George G. Blaisdell, then co-owner of the Blaisdell Oil Co., saw his friend Dick Dresser out on the terrace trying to light a cigarette with a cumbersome oddlooking Austrian lighter with a removable top. "You're all dressed up", chided Blaisdell, "Why don't you get a lighter that looks decent?" Well Gerorge, " his friend answered, Wit works!" Impressed, Blaisdell obtained U.S. distribution rights for the lighters but, when he couldn't sell them profitably, he decided to build a lighter that would look good and be easy to use with one hand. He created a rectangular case with a hinged lid and improved the chimney design, which provided the (now famous) Zippo windproof feature. Blaisdell named his creation "Zippo" because he liked the sound of the name of another recent invention, the zipper.
