New bi-weekly magazine series offers largest Zippo collection to date with 80 unique windproof lighters available
De Agostini Publishing today announced the release of a new fortnightly magazine series offering UK collectors the opportunity to amass up to 80 authentic lighters, from world renowned windproof lighter brand, Zippo.
Following the success of the Zippo windproof lighter collection in Spain, the largest collection to date, De Agostini brings the magazine series to the UK market in 80 issues, celebrating the story of Zippo and the company’s heritage. The lighter designs include both historical Zippo themes and topics that reflect contemporary culture. Celebrating historical events from the Battle of Britain to the first ever Moon landing, the collection features some of the most sought-after, commemorative and exclusive designs from the iconic brand.
Developed in the Zippo Design Centre, each lighter is made in Zippo’s plant in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The collection incorporates a variety of imprinting techniques and exterior finishes. The most unique aspect of the Collection is that a hidden “script Z” is incorporated into the graphic design of each lighter which has been drawn from the Zippo Logo of the 1960s.
Each issue is packed with facts and information drawn from the Zippo archives and museum. Upon completing the set, the owner will have a virtual encyclopaedia of Zippo knowledge and a digest of the role of Zippo lighters in pop culture. The first two introductory issues will be on sale for the special price of £4.99 and £9.99 respectively, thereafter each issue will retail for £19.99.
The series is available nationwide, including The Republic of Ireland, in over of 15,000 outlets from 16thSeptember. It is not suitable for persons under the age of 18. For more information and details on how to subscribe can be found on the official website here: www.myzippocollection.com
