But people insist that these beloved lighters are not only functional but a sentimental little treasure. 2. The first Zippo was produced in 1933, and it quickly rose to prominence during World War II. Since then, these lighters have become synonymous with the US military and have gone on to become super popular in pop culture, Hollywood, and on Broadway stages. 3. The process begins with large sheets of brass being shaped into the case's top and bottom pieces. After the case is put together, the pieces go into a nickel bath, which acts as an adhesive for the chrome finish. See those little holes? They're strategically put there to make the lighter windproof, a rare feature for lighters. 4. Lastly, each lighter is meticulously inspected to make sure all its components are there, including the signature click noise Zippo lighters are known for. 你会考虑花34美元买一个打火机吗?那125美元呢?这是 Zippo 打火机的价格范围。贵吗?是的。但人们坚持认为,这些心爱的打火机不仅实用,而且是一个情感上的小宝贝。 第一个 Zippo 是在1933年生产的,在第二次世界大战期间迅速崛起。从那时起,这些打火机就成为了美国军队的代名词,并在流行文化中、好莱坞和百老汇舞台上都变得超级流行。 这个过程开始于将大块的黄铜制成表壳的顶部和底部。在外壳组装好后,这些零件放入镍浴中,镍浴可以作为一种粘合剂来完成镀铬。看到那些小洞了吗?它们被精心设计放在那里使打火机防风,这是打火机的一个罕见的特点。 最后,每一个打火机都要经过仔细的检查,以确保它的所有部件都装好了,包括 Zippo 打火机著名的标志性金属开合声。
