5+1
The "1933 REPLICA FIRST RELEASE" was produced from 1998 through 2001. The reason for producing this "1933 Replica First Release" was that one year earlier the production of the "1932 Second Release Replica" was stopped as the Zippo Manufacturing Company learned that Georg G. Blaisdell founded the Zippo Manufacturing Company in 1932 but production & sales started one year later in 1933.
