had to go on a trip recently, one of the places i ended up, by chance, was the zippo museum, on account of the fact it was on the way; almost missed it entirely too, small place, barely any advertising
it was legitimately great, tons of info, history, examples, artifacts, et cetera, all while being a nice quiet place with very friendly staff
didn't even know zippo made bolo knives for the US expeditionary corps, but they did
they also make & fix all zippos there too, which is really cool, i came late in the day, so they weren't running though
while there, the lighter is one of the things i got, fares alright enough; i hoped to see a pocket knife with a pipe tool, but i guess i'm not in the right era, the lighter's pipe insert was all they had related
all in all, would recommend, it was leaps & bounds better than the corning glass museum (that place is total garbage now)
