Yes I know you do we discussed them back in 2012 & 2018...... ;)

It is the "1955 Ruger Pistols" it is one of four known. They were hand stamped by Jack Packard with out a filler block hence the dented appearance.
It is from the Hiddleson Collection, got it in a package deal.

Sorry about the dark picture but these damn Hi/polish items are hard for ME to take a good picture of. :oops:

Both the Pewter Shot Glass and the lighter were stamped with the Bearcat emblem.

Great, another rabbit hole for me to run down……

I should note that the 1987 Employee 10-year Club is a tape measure and not a lighter.
