During the 1950,s and into the 60's my Mother worked for Rothman's of Pall Mall on Orfus Road in Toronto Ontario.
Sometime during that period she was presented with this Zippo Lighter. I do not know what the occasion was.
Prior to receiving the lighter, her Superior asked her to sign her name on a blank piece of paper. Not knowing what it was for, she complied and shortly after that she was presented with the lighter.
As Mother was a smoker, the lighter has been used but has been in storage, unused for the past 30 plus years.
It's overall condition is good with the usual amount of scratches from use.
It has the Rothman logo engraved on one side and Mother's signature of the other.
It a white frost refrigerator from the early 1900's, it's in decent shape would need to be restored does not have water bottle option, has all three shelves

My grandfather was an avid marble collector and spent most of his time searching them out. He passed a few years ago and left me some of his marbles, and while searching through the internet, I have begun to understand the value they hold as well as how difficult it is to differentiate between all the different marbles! None of these marbles are completely spherical, and he said they were all from the beginning of the century, if not older. They are about a half inch in size, give or take a few millimeters. I do not have a black light, but my grandfather was constantly displaying them to his friends with one. I have attached images of the ones I have and would appreciate any help you might be able to give .
