For decades, consumers have purchased millions of genuine Zippo lighters, and today's vast array of models work just as flawlessly as those made back in 1933, when George G. Blaisdell introduced the revolutionary windproof concept. Known the world over for its beautiful and functional designs in so many attractive finishes and stylish motifs, genuine Zippo quality is easy to identify but difficult to duplicate... which is why Zippo customers keep coming back. And, if something should happen to your lighter? No problem—Zippo's motto is "It works or we fix it free."
