Automotive advertising services on Zippo lighters
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 Dozens of different automotive services advertised on Zippo since the 1950's. Among them, the tire manufacturers, car batteries, auto glass, springs, car radios and anything. Advertising tire manufacturers, of course, most of all. Here are some samples:
Parade replicas
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 The first official replica, ie copy the model of previous years, was released in 1985 - it was a copy of the model 1937.
In 1988 he was issued a copy of the lighter 1933. At the bottom it was misspelled «ORIGINAL 1932 REPLICA». After a few years, someone in the company realized that the very first Zippo was made and will be available only in 1933, and had to correct the mistake and issue a new model replica that has been "1933 replica» :)
The following two remarks appeared much later, in 2001, there was a copy of the model in 1941, in 2007 - a copy of the 1935 model with an external loop.
And they all come together! :) From left to right: 1932 replica (first edition 1990), 1935 replica, 1937 replica, 1941 replica.
