This is yet a great and very rare Rollei collectable item I'm offering you !! This time it is a golden Rollei (Zippo) lighter with the autographs of both the founders (Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke) from Rollei engraved in it. Also the logo from Rollei is engraved as with the following (German) text :
"Als 1920 Paul Franke und Reinhold Heidecke in Braunschweig ihre Werkstatt fur Feinmechanik und Optik,Franke und Heidecke grundeten,begann ein beispielloser Siegeszug in der Entwicklung hochwertiger Fotogearate."
Translated this means :
"When in 1920 Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke in Braunschweig their workingplace for fine mechanics and optics began,Franke and Heidecke started a big triomf and succes in the development of high end photo equipement"
The lighter is a rare piece of which only 100 pieces were offered to the importers at the time. I have never seen these before,so is a true and genuine rare piece to complete your (Rollei) collection with !!
