Barcroft
Zippo’s first table lighter, the #10 Tall Table Lighter, was produced in limited quantities between 1938 and 1941, and sold at retail for $7.50. Measuring 4.5 inches in height, the #10 had an inside unit with greater than four times the fuel capacity of a conventional Zippo windproof pocket lighter.
A slightly shorter #10 was introduced in 1947 as the Deluxe All- Purpose Table Lighter, and in 1950 it was shortened again, to 3.5 inches. In 1953, the #10 began to utilize the same inside unit as a Zippo pocket lighter, and in 1954, the #10 was renamed the Barcroft. The Barcroft was produced until 1979.

Lady Bradford
The elegantly curved Lady Bradford, introduced in 1949, is the first table lighter initially produced with and without a base. The 1949 model had a large inside unit and no base, both features that were changed in the 1950 model. Production of the Lady Bradford was discontinued in 1951. The stylish Lady Bradford was a recurrent prop on the set of the popular TV sitcom, I Love Lucy. |

The Corinthian was also available in three finishes: turquoise and rhodium, bright finish rhodium, and pearlescent rhodium. Both the Moderne and Corinthian were discontinued in 1966. |
