Barcroft Zippos

 [1]  [2]

The "Barcroft" was Zippo's first Table Lighter and was introduced in 1939 and discontinued in 1979. Over the 40 year span there were four Barcroft models (excluding the Lady Barcroft) produced.

The 1st Model, 1939-1940, originally called the #10 Table Lighter De Luxe, is 4.5 inches tall and has a long fluid insert extending to the bottom of the "one step" base. It is rare.

 

 

The 2nd Model, 1947-1949, is 4.25 inches tall, has a tall insert like the 1st Model  but two steps. 
This one has an Town & Country engraved mallard.

     

The 3rd Model, 1949-1953 is 3.25 inches tall with a tall insert. This one depicts Ernst, an organ grinder's monkey.

   

The 4th Model, 1953-1979 is also 3.25 inches
tall but uses the same insert as the regular
 size pocket-model Zippo.  This two-sided
Barcroft features Charlie Chaplin, the
"Little Tramp".
