The Dark Story behind the American Lighter Empire | The Zippo Factory

In 1932, a factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania became the foundation of an American industrial dynasty built on permanence. This documentary traces the rise of the Zippo lighter, the vision of George Blaisdell, and the manufacturing philosophy that defined a generation. From World War II production and the Black Crackle era to the rise of disposable plastic lighters and the decline of durability, this is the story of an American legacy engineered to last—yet slowly abandoned as convenience replaced craftsmanship.
