Book Review - Zippo Lighters Identification and Price Guide

The Zippo Lighters Identification and Price Guide is actually a lot more than its name implies - it is as much a history of the company, and a chronicle of the culture around it, as it is a price guide.

Chapter One is an introduction that includes collecting tips and trends, using the internet as a tool, and how to date items.

Chapter Two is a history of the Zippo company, including old employee and factory photos and movie stills.

Chapter Three is an identification guide, including how to date a lighter by its marks and codes, which are laid out in a handy chart.

Chapter Four is titled Trading Zippo Lighters, and includes value and demand information.

Chapter Five is the price guide, showcasing lighters identified by age and model along with value.

Chapter Six is a profile of Zippo advertising through the years - its actually the largest section of the book, totaling 92 pages!

Chapter Seven, the final chapter, takes a look at the future of Zippo lighters, and provides a list of collector's clubs including websites, addresses, and phone numbers.
