VERY NICE & Rare UTU (united Transportation Union)

Purchased at an estate sale of a retired UTU employee.  He had a collection of railroad items including this lighter.

The United Transportaion Union (UTU) was a broad-base, transportation labor union that represented about 70,000 retired railroad, bus, amass transit, and airline workers in the United States.

The bottom of the lighter states ////zippo/// dating it to 1967.  

Condition:  Lighter is in mint condition.  Still has its original box and papers.  Although it appears that the flint has been struck, I dont believe it has ever been fired as there are no flame marks and the wick is bright white.  Lighter will need fluid and flint.  SEE PICTURES.

RARE!  NONE CURRENTLY FOR SALE OR HAVE RECENTLY SOLD ON THIS SITE!

Good chance for a collector!
