Founder's Day 2025

Zippo proudly honors its founder, George G. Blaisdell, with the 2025 Founder’s Day Collectible. The stunning 540° Fusion design is a celebration of the creativity, artistry and innovation that inspired the first windproof lighter and continues to drive Zippo today.

Flowing botanicals, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style, surround every surface of the piece in a design that centers on a Founder’s Day crest inscribed with Mr. Blaisdell’s birthday and Zippo’s founding year. A blazing windproof lighter anchors the design, which is mirrored on the reverse side and incorporates the glimmering Tumbled Brass tones of the lighter’s case for added dimension. 

Limited to only 5000 pieces, each keepsake features consecutive numbering and a gold-flashed insert.
