Jerry Lewis Personal Lighter from Dean Martin “To Jer, Ah Love Ya, Dino” COA Provenance Letter

Description

This item is coming to you directly from the estate of Jerry Lewis’ Personal Assistant, Penny Rice.  For over 40 years, she tended to all of Jerry Lewis’ needs.  Finally, she severed ties with Jerry Lewis, and with that, she retained many of her and Jerry’s personal letters, audio tapes, jewelry, books, scripts, and photos.  These items have never been offered on the market but have been kept in the personal collection of Penny Rice for all these years.  Penny Rice passed away, and her daughter had a caretaker.  He helped Penny’s daughter move to Ohio, and she left all the Jerry Lewis Estate to the caretaker.

“To Jer, Ah Love Ya, Dino” has been inscribed into the top of the Dunhill lighter.  Having lasted through the years, unlike Jerry’s and Dean’s friendship,  this rare gift from Dean Martin to Jerry Lewis most importantly proves the love and respect Dean Martin and Lewis had for each other.  Significant, historically, anything that ties us back to the HEY DAYS of the Rat Pack, and the famous comedic duo Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin, warrants big numbers.  This is a must-have to add to your COLLECTION.

VINTAGE DUNHILL ROLLALITE Lighter U.S. PATENT No.2.102.108-The lighter needs a bit of maintenance.  The screw at the bottom of the lighter is not original and was taken from one of the other lights in Jerry Lewis’ collection.  The rarity of this lighter itself is worthy of collecting even without it being owned and used by Jerry Lewis.  If only the lighter could tell us a few tales!
