Sorry about the quality of the picture...it's a real PITA to try to get it out of the display case, so I didn't .
Funny story it was the weekend after Sinatra died, and we were at an antique/collectible show. My hubby came up to me and said "hold out your hand". I did, and he dropped the lighter into it...I'm sure my eyes got as big as saucers !! The lighter was priced $150 . After some dickering, I think we paid about $75. After we got into our car to leave, my hubby said "take a good look at the price tag...was it changed?" Sure enough, the "$ 50" was in dark blue ink; the "1" was black ink! Of course we assumed that she had the lighter marked at $50, when Frankie passed away she upped the price to $150 .
