Hey guys, went to an auction today after work and this is probably my most favorite find of all time.
I go to auctions uh you know to buy stuff to resell and also to keep but this is something
I never thought I would come across or find and uh it's just amazing. I went to the auction
they had a lot of stuff but nothing I was really interested in and I make it a point to always go
through the auction at least two to two to three times to look through all the boxes to make sure
I didn't miss anything and I was getting ready to leave and I decided to go through this one
table one more time and in the bottom of this box I found this Zippo lighter. So it's rare to find
Zippo at all this old uh but when I opened it up I could not believe
what I said. This is my grandfather's company. I spoke with my mom and because I remember my
grandpa uh having this company and uh I called my mom and told her what I had found she's like and
she was amazed. I don't know too much about the company and I asked my mom
and she said my grandpa with his cousin ran this company for around 15 years or so
from the late 50s to the 60s I guess and uh he had to come across something like this.
It's just amazing and uh it's never been used so it's still brand new in the box.
I'm guessing probably the only one in existence in this condition. It was just a small company
in Fort Wayne, Indiana so they probably didn't make a whole lot of these but uh yeah just an
amazing find. I thought I'd share with you guys. Have a good one.
