The beginning "Zippo" The Zippo saga begins in the midst of the American Depression, in a garage on Boylston Street, Pennsylvania, following these few words exchanged in a club between George Grant Blaisdell, co-director of the Blaisdell Oil Company, and one of his friends returning from Austria: "You look very stylish," remarks Blaisdell. "Why on earth don't you use a proper lighter?" "But George," replies his friend, "it still works very well!" Conquered by this symbol of solidity, Blaisdell initially obtains the distribution rights in the United States for these relatively ugly Austrian lighters, oblong in shape with a cumbersome mechanism and a removable brass lid. Their handling proves to be awkward, and the venture ends in failure. The first improvements of the Zippo In an America in a perpetual quest for marked innovation, one year earlier marked by the inauguration of the Empire State Building, the businessman then becomes an inventor.He reworks the shape of the object so that, having become rectangular, it can be opened with one hand.

The Zippo in period films The Zippo is featured as early as 1948 in "Homecoming" by Mervyn Leroy, curiously in the hands of a woman, Lana Turner, partner of Clark Gable. Donna Reed (another woman!) follows five years later ("From Here to Eternity" by Fred Zinneman - 1953 - Evocation of Pearl Harbor) then the Zippo returns to the more masculine pockets of the Marines during the Battle of Saipan illustrated by "The High and the Mighty" and directed by Raoul Walsh (1954), in those of Lee Marvin on the occasion of "Attack".staged by Robert Aldrich or by Errol Flynn vividly experiencing his "Adventures in Burma".But the most striking fact in the cinematic history of the Zippo is perhaps "The Longest Day," in which two of these lighters were present alongside Robert Mitchum and Richard Burton in 1962. The distance from war does not, however, break the pace of the Zippo's appearances on screen. John Wayne takes over from Burton and Mitchum, and through the lighter this time passes the emotion of "The Green Berets."The Zippo of one of them who died in combat is indeed recovered from a double agent Viet Cong.
