Zippo Lighter Museum - A Tour of the Museum | Lots of Lighters / Lots of History - Bradford, PA

This week brings me down to Bradford, Pennsylvania for a visit to the Zippo / Case Museum. I take a walk around the museum to see the history of the Zippo Lighter from its beginnings to its 600 millionth lighter. Lots of amazing lighters on display as well some very cool knives from the W.R. Case Company. It was such an interesting place to see. Do come along!!!

I find it interesting that Zippo's warranty also covers abuse. Which normally isn't covered. It's funny how so many products used to have a lifetime warranty.

[@bobthescienceguy2144]

I wouldn't be able to make a trip like that without at least buying a Zippo before I leave.🙂

[@UnkleHeavy]

Between those and all the cool pocket knives they had, it was difficult not to! 😊

[@travisjohnson6358]

I would love to go there one day cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@UnkleHeavy]

It was definitely a very interesting place to visit with a really unique history!!! Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@travisjohnson6358]

I collect zippos I have 22 so far

[@CRJourney20]

That is so awesome. I remember back in the days everyone had a zippo. What a fun place to see. Never knew it existed. First time without a mask in a year did you feel like you were walking around naked....LOL

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you so much!! I used to have quite a collection of Zippos back in the day! It was very odd walking around with no mask that day for sure. It honestly felt like I had forgotten to dress!!!

[@Conspiracy1977]

kool museum. went to Bradford, PA in the early 1990's and back then all I knew about Bradford was it was the home of Kendall Motor Oil as you can see the huge storage tanks driving into Bradford on the #219 south.

[@UnkleHeavy]

It was pretty amazing to see. I'm a huge Zippo fan and this place was like heaven!!! On top of that, the area in Bradford is so beautiful. Kinzua Bridge is right there too. Worth the trip down!!!

[@sinfulsymbiote2978]

Thank you for sharing this, looks amazing I hope to visit there one day!

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you so much!! It was pretty cool to see!!!

Thanks for sharing

[@UnkleHeavy]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

[@thatrandomchannel8589]

What’s wrong with zippo and Disney being together? You don’t have to smoke to use a lighter. Birthday candles, regular candles,camping etc.

[@UnkleHeavy]

Nothing wrong at all! I personally would love to have one!!! 😁

[@grahampawson1502]

Brilliant , hi from the UK 🤙👏

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you! Cheers!!!

[@KMK99]

Very Interesting place. Loved the bloopers, “where the $&#% am I” very funny.

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you so much! Yeah, sometimes I get really hung up on those intros and outros and totally forget the name of the town I’m in. Sometimes I’m really grateful for editing software. 😁

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

So cool 😎 so many different styles 👍 my kind of place 😁

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you! It was very cool. I could literally have spent hours looking at all the various imprints. It was a great place!!!

[@mohamedanwer2553]

A wonderful trip

[@UnkleHeavy]

[@yodapappacards]

Thanks for sharing this video

[@UnkleHeavy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@da_pawz]

6:22 Hmmm is that A Zippo with Garuda Emblem, National emblem of Indonesia? Wow...

[@TheBootyWrangler]

Man I had to dig my ronson whirlwind out of my carry bag to take a bong rip when you showed those ronsons towards the end of the video lmfao I’m a vintage lighter collector and I’m actually kinda surprised by how simplistic their collection of non-zippo vintage lighters is. Nothing I’m there is all too unobtainable

[@JENDALL714]

I have a Zippo lighter that I can safely say, only a handful of people have! I have a Zippo lighter with a picture of Wake Island on it. I bought on Wake Island when I was for there for "Operation prompt return" in the mid 90's. We were the first soldiers there since WW2, and I bought it at a store there that opens for only an hour, once a day!

[@UnkleHeavy]

That's pretty amazing!!!

[@TheTolleRoad]

The D-Day lighter is an amazing story! I also didn’t know Zippo owns Case knives now. Btw… you’re in Bradford 😂

[@UnkleHeavy]

That was a really amazing story! It's too bad it's original owner never knew the outcome. It's a great place to check out! If you're in the area, make sure you have a look at the Kinzua Bridge. It's right up your alley!!!!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Sad the original owner died just a couple years before they found it. Imagine his surprise if he would’ve gotten it back in his 70s.

[@UnkleHeavy]

Hello and welcome to my channel!! 😁😁😁🤣🤣

[@michaeldrake8300]

[@10kknife]

Such an underrated acc

[@RusticatedArt]

Really enjoyed this Dave!! Would've been an interesting place to visit!! Everyone knows what a Zippo is!! (BTW, have you seen my new video, you might find it of interest!) Have a good one my friend!!😀👍💯

[@UnkleHeavy]

Hey Robbie!!! It was definitely a Zippo collectors dream, that's for sure!!! I was actually surprised at the amount of history behind the lighter as a whole! I'm going to head over your channel in a bit and see what you've got going on over there!!! 😁

[@UnkleHeavy]

👍 Welcome to the channel!!!

[@scottmcintosh2988]

Major Crimes episode 18 Penalty Phase the guy three the Zoppo at the bad guy !

[@DrumWild]

Do they need to add fluid to the lights every other day to keep them lit?

[@UnkleHeavy]

I'm laughing because I nearly asked someone there the same question. 🤣

[@mateomartinicorena1554]

I think that back in 1971 smoking wasn't even considered to be bad... I might be wrong

[@UnkleHeavy]

You're right, things were much different then. It was pretty much part of the culture. Thank you so much for watching!!

[@cookiepurple9371]

Nice new Here

[@UnkleHeavy]

Thank you so much, and welcome to my channel!!!

[@coffeenow2382]

Can you go back at night and film? We want to see the lighter lit at night, sincerely, the bic's....

[@UnkleHeavy]

I'll see what I can do. 😁 Thanks for watching!!!
