Zippo folder

[popcornpicker]

Just got a small one blade folder marked Zippo BRADFORD, PA. Did or does Zippo make knives? What would be the time frame?

I have one with a trout on it from 99-2000. Don't know if they still make them.

From the Zippo website:
W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery, one of America's oldest and finest cutlery manufacturers is a Zippo subsidiary.

Does that mean a Zippo is a Case or is a Case a Zippo?

"In 1993, Zippo acquired Bradford-based W.R.Case and Sons Cutlery Company. Case is the manufacturer of premium collectible and sport knives, often designated “the world’s most collectible knives.” Case, established in 1889, has a rich heritage and many aficionados collect both Case knives and Zippo lighters."
