由乔治blaisdell创建Zippo工厂始建于1932年 工厂的第一个地点是在二楼的richerson & pryde车库bolyston街闹市布拉德福德。 Zippo系列的防风火机签署关于多孔防风墙已成为一个象征的Zippo系列的特征。
这是一个只有六个工人的ZIPPO工厂第一年的运作情况 第一个月的业务卖出82个ZIPPO 共计62。15美元
ZIPP[已经走过了漫长的道路 从这些温和的开端 今天已经是一个大型成功的公司 但是还一如既往的坚持着公司的理念 至今ZIPPO还是终身免费维修 正如它七十多年前一样 ZIPPO的终身保修理念很好的保存到了现今 今后也一直是如此。。。

Zippo - The Beginning
| The original Zippo?/sup> factory was founded in 1932 by George Blaisdell. This first location was the second floor of the Richerson & Pryde garage on Bolyston Street in downtown Bradford. The Zippo Windproof Lighter sign on the multi-paned windown has become a symbol of Zippo's early days. |

| Six people were employed during the first year of Zippo's operation. During the first month of business, receipts for 82 lighters totaled $62.15! Zippo has come a long way from these modest beginnings and today is a large successful corporation which still repairs every lighter for no charge - just as it did over 50 years ago! The Zippo Lifetime Guarantee is honored today as it always has been. |
