The ZIPPO/Case Museum in Bradford, Pennsylvania

Our son, Adam, was given a ZIPPO lighter by his grandmother.  The striker was frozen.  Eric read at the ZIPPO website that the company's policy is to fix broken lighters.  Adam gave us the lighter to take to ZIPPO and have it repaired.

We were expecting to visit ZIPPO on our way south in the fall.  While on our way to Ohio, Eric saw a sign for the ZIPPO/Case Museum.  Our plans had changed.  We detoured to Bradford, Pennsylvania to visit the museum and have Adam's lighter repaired.











Welcome to the world of
ZIPPO Lighters.








This flag is made

Watch your hand, Eric!

















Adam's lighter went 
in for repair.















Adam's lighter is fixed
& working well.















We bought a lighter to
commemorate our visit.






The ZIPPO/Case Museum is worth the trip.  I'm glad Adam had a lighter that needed repair.
