Lot 429: 1956-1957 Mickey Mantle Bowling Alley Cigarette Lighter
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Rare Wellington Balboa cigarette lighter advertising the "Mickey Mantle Bowling Center" in Dallas, a short-lived venture which began in 1956. If Mantle hit a home run, the bowler who bowled the most pins over their average that day would receive a baseball signed by Mantle. This EXMT lighter is wrapped with a brass advertising plate that reads "Mickey Mantle Bowling Center, 200 Exchange Park North, Dallas, Texas" on one side and "MM, FL7-6575" with facsimile "Best Wishes Mickey Mantle" and caricature bowling pins and telephone on the other.
