| In my view correctly Zippo did that laid off lighter with aluminum housing. The photo even lighter and rarity and is a collector's interest, but it still gives deshiviznoy and unreliable. Imagine, you even went to a cheap restaurant or cafe for lunch, and you are served table aluminum cookware, I think immediately withdraw the order. That's probably marketers Zippo time came around and did not let us switch to the production of utilitarian consumer goods. Then b, in the best case, we would know about Zippo, as Criket, and did not continue this wonderful and interesting forum, etc.  |

| In fact, the company Zippo never planned to go to aluminum :) These instances - mostly a misunderstanding, because Aluminum is soft, fragile and unstable at high temperatures. These models were ordered aluminum companies as advertising samples and are in fact very rare prototypes, as released these were very few. C On the other hand, aluminum at that time was a kind of innovative material - comfortable, lightweight (lighter than steel, for example), and its products and high-tech look popular. Hence the pilot to use it as material for various household items, including Zippo. Another question is that now we are looking at such things as cheap and utilitarian. And then - new technology! :) By the way, here is a good example. In the 1960s, were popular lighter Scripto (they now use to collection demand). So, they made of transparent plastic :) It Now we look and say "yuck, cheap", and then the color was innovative plastic material that looks stylish, fashionable and beautiful. So every time dictates the trends :) Scripto:   | |

| I understand Scripto gasoline? From childhood, I remember the Soviet Union also produced petrol lighter with transparent casing without filling wool. |

| Yes, gasoline. Was very popular mainly because it was very useful for advertising. And besides, she had a very reliable mechanism that virtually prevents evaporation of gasoline. Ie there are cases when Scripto lay 50 years and it retained all of its gasoline. In the USSR actually a lot of things were produced, stripped of Scripto, with Ronson, etc., only Zippo loggerheads not mastered :) | |
