Zippo Canada opened in August 1949 and was the only place other than Bradford, PA, where Zippo lighters were ever produced. Operations included the fit-up of the lighter case and insert, surface customization, cleaning, repair clinic, and packaging.
The final production run collectible signifies the end of an era with the closing of the Zippo Canada plant in July 2002. The Zippo Canada commemorative is limited to 25,000 pieces worldwide. Each individually numbered silver plated lighter carries the final imprint of the Zippo Canada bottom stamp, and is packaged in a replica gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The engraved design on the lighter features a maple leaf flanked by the operation dates of the Zippo Canada plant. Banners above and below the central design identify it as the Zippo Canada Collector’s Edition, and engraving on the lid confirms this as the Final Production Run.
