Zippo, Florida Power and Light Service Award Pins, Reddy Kilowatt And More

[diggummup]

Picked all this up today for $10 at an estate sale, along with about 50 shipping envelopes of several sizes and 4 non surgical face lift kits called Distinction by Leigh Valentine. I didn't take a photo but I did copy and past one for you.

The Zippo dates to 1961 and has a 15 year service award attached to it, so they have a little age to them. Key chain is probably the newest of the FPL lot.

Very nice. Too bad they didn't have Reddy on the Zippo, Reddy Kilowatt Zippos go for serious coin. That one should do very well too, hard to come by with paint at 100%.

I guess I should have grabbed all the loose full bottles too...

That USAF pendant is incredible. I found a turkey point ballcap with similar iconography a while back, it did pretty well

I can clearly see the 2 dots on the right On the left I can see 2 possibly 3 dots? If 3 dots on the left two on the right it is a 1961 if it is 2 and 2 it is a 1962 Nice score on the ZIPPO

Reddy Kilowatt is awesome. I would wear that on my lapel... if I had a lapel.

Nice scores!

I would normally agree except the identical 15 year pin is gold filled as well as the 5 and 10 year pins, so I would assume it is also. Though I haven't tested it.

I'd never claim to be able to tell from pictures, but it does seem to have a bit different of a hue to it from the others. Maybe it's just the lighting. I don't think it matters, it is worth more on the lighter than it would be for scrap.
