Item Description
4.75" tall flat die-cut plastic badge with bar pin on reverse. Item was issued along with a bottle of whiskey in a commemorative edition shortly after the infamous New York City blackout of 1965. Myself, like thousands of other New Yorkers, descended their skyscraper offices via pitch dark stairwells and then made their way to friends' apartments for a night of partying. As the item states, "I Served At The Original Shot-In-The-Dark Party Power Blackout November 9, 1965." Issued by "Fleischmann's Preferred 90 Proof Whiskey." Mint as issued.
