HH and List -

It is probably too late for you to go to Guthrue, OK, and visit the National Lighter Museum.  This place is 
definitely worth a stop and the owner-folks who run it are just larger than life "real people.  The museum is a 
minor gem, the articles are very interesting, some going back hundreds of years.  If you show a degree of 
interest and knowledge the owner will chat your ear off as the lighter collection, some 20,000+ is his pride 
and joy.  I knew a bit and asked plenty and we spent some 2+ hours with the folks.

For more information go to natlitrmus on the Internet. Ted and Pat Ballard run it and are great folks, 
although it make take them a while to warm to you as most folks who visit do not 1) make the requested 
contribution for upkeep of $2 and 2) do not show much interest.

Give it a shot, you will be glad you did.
