Description:

Spare flints are always a must if you use a lighter, high quality flints by Zippo are an ideal product as there are 6 in every pot and will work in any lighter that requires a flint to light.

Zippo was founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 when George G. Blaisdell decided to create a lighter that would look good and be easy to use. Blaisdell obtained the rights for an Austrian windproof lighter with a removable top, and re-designed it to his own requirements. He made the case rectangular and attached the lid to the bottom with a welded hinge, and surrounded the wick with a windhood. Fascinated by another recent invention, the zipper, Blaisdell called his new lighter Zippo, and backed it with a Lifetime Guarantee.
