500 Million - Planeta deAgostini, Portugal        L  ZIPPO  12  (December 2012)

 

On May 14, 2012 the Zippo Headquarters building on Barbour Street was

decorated with three huge banners announcing the forthcoming milestone

to be celebrated on June 5, 2012.

              

 

On June 5, 2012 at 8:26 a.m. the case for the actual 500 millionth

lighter came off the metal press...

The case got computer engraved at the Zippo plant...

...and stamped with the time it was finished — 10:51 a.m.

Jim McDonough, Zippo’s vice president of operations, who

personally guided the lighter through each step of production

presented the finished Zippo to the participating employees.

 

 

At about 11 a.m. the lighter’s brushed chrome-plated brass case and

its insert were then passed along hand-to-hand a few hundred yards

from the plant & the Zippo museum by each of the 620 employees.
