|
| The
Zippo family Store & museum was located next to the
manufacturing |
| facilities
at Congress Street and opened its doors to visitors in late
1993. |
|
| Besides
offering products of all three brands, Zippo, Case and
Holgate, |
| the
visitors could see hundreds of pieces of Zippo history,
watch old tv |
| spots
and learn about the products, history and people behind
Zippo. |
| And,
not to forget, that was the place at the National Zippo Days
events |
| where
hundreds of collectors waited in line for their National
Zippo Day |
| commemoratives,
that were sold exclusively at the family Store &
Museum. |
|
| Barely
three years later, on Friday, July 18, 1997 the doors were
closed |
| and
the all new Zippo & Case visitors center was opened to
the public. |
