Windproof Zippo Lighters

As with most collectibles, the date of manufacture of a Zippo lighter often affects its value. Valuable information on the bottom of every Zippo windproof lighter can help you determine its date of manufacture. Starting in the mid 50s, date codes were stamped on the bottom. The original purpose was for quality control. The date codes have since become an invaluable tool for Zippo collectors.Most lighters fabricated between 1933 and 1957 can be identified by style and model and the patent or patent-pending marks.
