Zippo Lighter (Cal-Ore Machinery Company version)

The Zippo lighter is an iconic windproof lighter manufactured by the Zippo Manufacturing Company. This specific item features the branding of 'Cal-Ore Machinery Company,' an industrial equipment supplier based in the Northwestern United States. Zippo lighters have been produced in Bradford, Pennsylvania, since the company's inception in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell.

The brand is world-renowned for its distinct 'click' sound and its lifetime warranty. While the lighter itself is a Zippo product, the branding represents a vintage promotional item for Cal-Ore Machinery. Zippo remains a family-owned business, with the Blaisdell family still firmly at the helm of the company. It continues to maintain its manufacturing roots in the USA while exporting to markets worldwide, including Germany.
