Why a Zippo lighter?
Before we can answer this questions, you first need a little history about the lighter. George G. Blaisdell invented the Zippo lighter in 1932 in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Little did he know that it would grow to be a true American icon! Besides being featured in motion pictures, video games, books, magazines, etc. The Zippo lighter has deep roots in our US military. As a matter of fact, Zippo lighters have been carried by GIs in every war from World War II to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
During World War II, many soldiers took the liberty of customizing their Zippo lighters by inscribing names, places, messages and images of all kinds. These images were often referred to as "Trench Art." The famous war correspondent Ernie Pyle wrote, "The Zippo lighter is in great demand on the battlefield - it's the most coveted thing in the Army."
The Zippo lighter was known as the soldiers friend and was treasured for its reliability and as a tangible reminder of home. Interestingly enough, since World War II, every U.S. Navy ship has its own Zippo lighter, showing a picture of the ship, its name and number.
In Contemporary Fighting Arts, the Zippo lighter has very special meaning and significance. Essentially, it's recognized as a street warrior's keepsake. A symbolic token of ones commitment to warriorship and combative excellence. It's no wonder this classic multi-purpose lighter has been a valued item of Sammy Franco for well over a decade.
The American-made quality and Lifetime Guarantee makes the Zippo lighter a valuable collector's item around the world, with collectors' clubs in England, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and of course, the United States.
