1966 Lloyd Smith Company Advertising Zippo

Offered here is an exceptional 1966 Zippo advertising lighter produced for the Lloyd Smith Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania.

The two-color etched-and-painted front graphic reads:

LLOYD SMITH COMPANY
1967
OUR 46TH YEAR

Although the advertising design commemorates the company’s 46th year in 1967, the lighter itself is a correctly identified 1966 Zippo. This distinction is important to collectors and is confirmed by the case date code.

The Lloyd Smith Company’s Bradford, Pennsylvania location adds special collector interest because Bradford is also the home of Zippo Manufacturing Company.
