The Zippo lighter is one of the most widespread and easily recognizable styles of lighters in the world. It is a simple kind of cigarette lighter that can easily be refilled with lighter fluid. While the Zippo lighter has been produced since 1933, it reached its current high level of popularity and renown during World War II. For the duration of the war, the Zippo lighter company stopped producing the Zippo lighter for the home consumer market, and focused exclusively on making the Zippo lighter for soldiers in the war. As a result the Zippo lighter became the most recognizable lighter of the war, and when the soldiers came back home they brought their favorite Zippo lighters with them. This established the brand of Zippo lighter as we think of it today.
