about our Frank Sinatra's Cal Neva Lighter
To the best of my recollection....
We were in Chicago, at a small antique/collectibles show. My husband spotted the Frank Sinatra's lighter in one of the booths. I believe the lighter was marked $135. My husband offered the seller $50, and they dickered back and forth a bit, finally settling on about $65 (I think). Frank Sinatra had passed away just about a week before that show, and I commented to my husband that I was surprised the seller was willing to drop her price that much. He told me to look at the price tag. It was $135...so??? He said look again. I looked closely and the "$35" was written in dark blue ink, the "1" was written in black ink! It appears that the lady had the lighter priced at $35, and when Sinatra passed away she raised the price!
