Apache Oil in the seventies operated limited partnerships and investors were provided these items as thanks and to encourage future investments.
Apache has gone on to become a wholly owned subsidiary of APA Corporation, listed now on the NASDAQ under symbol APA. The item is rare of great appeal in the oil industry for investors, collectors, and others aware of the history of Apache.
This is priced to sell at less than half of other listings and half price of sold items. I have no attachment to this object and want to move it along. Shipping is included.
Thanks.
