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 3: Rickerson & Pryde Building
Zippo's first factory was established in the fall of 1933 above the Rickerson & Pryde garage at 7 Boylston Street in downtown Bradford. Zippo occupied the corner room on the second floor where the Zippo sign in the multi-paned window has become a symbol of the company's early days.
Zippo founder George G. Blaisdell rented this space for $10.00 a month. By the end of the first month, 82 of Blaisdell's new Zippo windproof lighters had been produced here.
Later, Zippo operations expanded into the entire second floor, occupying the space until the fall of 1938. This building was torn down around 1960 as part of a flood-control project. A small irregularly-shaped parking lot is all that remains of the location of Zippo's first factory.
