The Ricardo’s Zippo Table Lighter

Strictly speaking a prop is only a prop if the actor holds/uses it on stage or screen, other items that appear on set are called “set dressing”. Arguably, the most used props on I Love Lucy were the cigarette lighters. The Zippo Lady Bradford table lighter is one we see a  lot of, usually it is placed on the coffee table as seen above.

The Zippo Lady Bradford table lighter proudly graced the coffee table in the Ricardo's living room in the '50s comedy I Love Lucy.
