Re: AA MiniMag Collection - Part 3

This is mostly standard colors, a few logo items, and a few variations of colors.

aa_5_presidents_dinner.jpg

This is the only one of these I've ever seen. The side of the box says: 414-000-558. The front of the box says:

The Twenty-Eighth of April, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Two
GEORGE BUSH
THE PRESIDENT'S DINNER

Courtesy of Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Maglica
and the Family of Mag-Lite® Companies


What other companies are in the "Family of Mag-Lite® Companies" anyway?

aa_6_presidential.jpg

Midnight Blue/Red Soli [Marines: The Few. The Proud.], USA Flaglite, Blue [President's Dinner], Red 2001 Inaugural [Inaugural Seal 2001 - The 54th Presidential Inaugural - Celebrating America's Spirit Together - George W. Bush - Richard B. Cheney], Americana Series; that's dust on the blue one. :-(

aa_7_nascar_1.jpg

Maglite Racing, NASCAR Victory, NASCAR Select, NASCAR Spectrum, Red #8 Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Red #24 Jeff Gordon [DuPont Racing], Red #94 Bill Elliott [McDonalds], Orange #20 Tony Stewart, Green #5 Tony LaBonte [Kelloggs], Green #18 Bobby LaBonte

aa_8_nascar_2_blue-black.jpg

Blue #6 Mark Martin [Valvoline], Blue Knurled #45 Kyle Petty [Petty], Blue #3 Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Blue #24 Jeff Gordon [Pepsi Racing], Blue #31 Mark Skinner, Blue Knurled #99 Jeff Burton [SuperGard/Citgo], Blue Knurled #6 Mark Martin [Valvoline], Midnight Blue #2 Rusty Wallace, Midnight Blue #88 Dale Jarrett, Fuschia #99 Jeff Burton [Exide], Black #3 Dale Earnhardt, Black Knurled #28 Ricky Rudd [Halvoline Racing]


A couple notes:

* means Ontario bezel

My Unknurled Fuschia and NASCAR Jeff Burton #99 are absolutely identical. I would be willing to bet the Fuschias were overstock from these. If that's the case, my question is where do we find the overstock for the other ones?

4 of the NASCAR lights I have came in clamshell packaging with Hot Wheels cars. Those 4 are Red 94 Bill Elliott [McDonalds], Green #5 Terry Labonte [Kellogs], Blue #6 Mark Martin [Valvoline], Fuschia #99 Jeff Burton [Exide]. If you notice, these are the only 4 that have corporate sponsor branding on the head.

A few of these NASCARS are knurled, you'll notice. I don't know what's up with these. The ebayer I purchased them from claimed to be a Maglite distributor and said the knurled ones were official, but put out right at the end of the NASCAR lights' distribution. None of these came with paper sleeve packaging, so perhaps that's exactly the case. I have no idea.


Links:

Some of the CPF custom lights in this post are still available. You can support these fine folks here:

will's Custom Nickel Plated Minimag Thread - sold out, but maybe if you express an interest, he'll do another run. Just noticed today: new thread here.

will's Custom Wood Minimag Thread - sold out, but I believe these are currently still being offered by request.

modamag's Custom Splash Anodized Minimag Thread - still available, and I'm not sure why. I'm not sure how these could be any nicer. If they don't go soon, I'm going to wind up with a couple more of them.

FiveMega's Golden MiniM*g - These are gorgeous. 24k gold plating over full polish nickel plating.


Help A Brother Out!

We can make a fair deal, and on top of that, I will make a donation to CPF or the charity of your choice in your name for rarities. I am still looking for:

Weinrot
Bronze
Lime Unknurled
GreenLED
Blue-Green Ontario
Charcoal - found!

Blue 2005 inaugural - found!
1989 AAA inaugural - found!
"MAG" Flaglite - found!

Custom CPF lights from old runs, especially splash anodized
Ontario bezel lights
Many corporate branded lights
Unbranded, unknurled lights of all colors

Added FiveMega's Golden MiniM*gs to my link list of available CPF customs in post 6.

I got a chance to meet and speak with FiveMega at the SoCal CPF party last weekend. I learned something about those gold minis that I didn't know. I meant to share it with you guys sooner but it totally slipped my mind. Those gold minis are actually double plated. Apparently gold doesn't bond well with aluminum, so in order to be gold plated, these first had to be nickel plated.

Naturally, my immediate response was to request swirl/splatter lights gold over nickel. :naughty:

I just thought that was an interesting factoid and that some of you would find it interesting too. :wave:

How about a blast from the past? :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

For those who don't know or haven't seen this photo, this was from the 1st run of splash anodized minimags arranged by CPF member YAESUMOFO.

The new crown jewel in my collection:

steveamentslight002-copy.jpg


This belonged to my buddy and co-worker of 18 years who was killed out in the truck yard loading a trailer. This tragic event took place on October 12th of last year.

It took me this long to ask his wife if I could have one of his lights. I finally got up enough courage and she actually gave me the light he wore everyday. Black minimag with a simple led upgrade.

Thought I'd share this one with my fellow collectors.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you very much for sharing that special special light with us.

From a strictly Minimag related standpoint, I really love heavily used Minimags! There is a lot of potential in collecting the beat up ones, I think.

Do the 'MAG' Flag Maglite's typically say, "America's Choice," on the reverse side? Off hand I can not remember what mine says, but I just bought the one shown below and so I thought I would share.

Sorry for the terrible pictures, I had to use the seller's as I have not yet received it.
