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 5: George G. Blaisdell Home - Bradford, PA
The house at 160 Jackson Avenue was built in 1900 by a chemical manufacturer named William Gaffney. In 1944, it caught the eye of Zippo founder George G. Blaisdell who felt its proximity to the Zippo facilites in downtown Bradford made it an ideal location.
On July 13, 1944 this property became the base for Mr. Blaisdell's social and personal life, a role it played for more than 40 years. Mr. Blaisdell delighted in giving his guests a ride in one of the home's most unusual features, an antique open-cage elevator. At Mr. Blaisdell's request, Zippo's first Art Director, Jack Clark, decoupaged the entire first and second floor powder rooms with Zippo logos, posters and advertisements, much of which remains intact today.
After Mr. Blaisdell's death in 1978, the Blaisdell family sold the house and today it is privately owned.
