ALASKA ZIPPOS

Alaska is the largest state in the United States. Alaska was admitted to the union as the 49th state in 1959, and lies at the extreme northwest of the North American continent. Far North Alaska is a region generally referring to the northern areas on or close to the Arctic Ocean. Most of these communities have no highways and can only be reached by aircraft or snowmobile in good weather. Originally inhabited by various Alaska Native groups living off hunting, whaling, or salmon fishing, modern settlement in Arctic Alaska was driven first by discoveries of gold and later on by the extraction of petroleum. The Zippo lighter, designed for the rugged outdoors, were particularly useful not only in Alaska but in northern Canada and other Arctic parts of North America
