Marlboro Zippo : Two Iconic Brands in One

Arthur — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 22:33:28 +0000

For both collectors and regular buyers, nothing can be more classic than a Marlboro Zippo lighter. It comes in the signature metal casing in either black or gold and has an engraved Marlboro logo and other symbols of the famous cigarette brand, like the cowboy with a hat, in the front.

Just imagine seeing two of the world's most famous brands in one trusted product that has become essential, not only to smokers but also to households and adventurous folks who are always in need of a reliable source of heat.

Aside from its classic look, of course what makes the Marlboro Zippo a favorite among consumers is its inner mechanism that works satisfactorily and has the excellent quality that the Zippo Manufacturing Company has become famous for in the last seven decades.
From the wick to the flint to the batt, each of the parts of this Zippo lighter is guaranteed to be of the highest standards and carefully assembled to make the unit work perfectly. And to give you more security, each Zippo lighter that you buy comes with a lifetime guarantee, which assures you that the Zippo company will repair your lighter for free if it does not work properly.

Located at the bottom of the lighter is the seal of authenticity, near the date code, that tells you that you bought a genuine lighter made by the Zippo brand. So if you want to have a piece of novelty from not just one but two iconic brands, then get your own Marlboro Zippo now.

Winston Zippo: A Rare Find Even To Non-smokers

Arthur — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 18:05:24 +0000

Winston Zippo, a Zippo Manufacturing Company’s patented lighter, is certainly one of the most sought after collector’s item not only in the US but in Europe and Asia as well. The company has been established by George G. Blaisdell in 1932 and since then has been committed in providing reliable, durable and excellent in quality lighters. Not only that, because of the company’s ingenuity and dedication to their clients, most of the lighters then until now are being collected due to their aesthetic appeal.

The Winston Zippo was apparently designed to promote the Winston Cup which is sponsored by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, who is also responsible in producing cigarette brands like Camel, Salem, etc. Although cigarette smoking and lighters are connected, it does not follow that only smokers collect this particular item. Non-smokers who are fond of collecting event memorabilia would certainly want this Zippo lighter added to their collection.

Genuine pieces of this specific lighter are in bright chrome finish and the bottom part should read XII, made in the year 1995. At the top portion of the lighter’s body, 25 years is etched plus the Winston Eagle and at the lower part, there should be the Winston Cup’s logo bearing the crossed flags.

Usually if the lighter hasn’t been used or fueled, the value is higher. Some collectors would even want their items packed with their original Zippo plastic display casing.

You can check e-stores, auctions and fellow Zippo collectors’ swap meet to chance upon a Winston Zippo.

Camel Zippo

Arthur — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:10:34 +0000

Over the years, the Camel Zippo lighters have been in production to commemorate the iconic cigarette brand Camel. This seems only appropriate since Zippo’s core products are lighters, which are generally considered to be the partner of the cigarette.

Camel Zippo lighters have come out with hundreds of designs, most of which have been associated with various Camel Cigarettes’ events and advertising. Some have been used to partner with the Camel Trophy Competition and the Camel Pool League.

Most items in this collection are no longer readily available in the regular shops and online stores. These funky pieces of memorabilia are now specialty Zippo lighters and traded or bought as a collection item and not just as a mere lighter.

The earlier designs of Camel lighters cannot be directly bought by money. Rather, they can be purchased using the C-note, a yellow piece of paper found in Camel cigarette packs. They were considered to be the “currency” used to buy the Camel-inspired Zippo lighters.

Many collectors and enthusiasts have attempted to compile all the Camel designs that Zippo came out with. The most notable of all was R.J. Reynolds. His complete work can be found in the guide-book “Camel Zippo Collectors’ Guides”. Other popular guides were written by Brian Sipes and Len Shorter. A number of websites are also dedicated to the discussion of and display of the many models brought out by Zippo.

Because of the renowned place of Camel cigarettes in pop culture, these Camel Zippo lighters are treated more as collection items and important pieces of history.
