Dupont "Lannate is lightning" Lannate advertising promotional object, probably paperweight

By Anonymous (not verified), 8 July, 2008
Description

I picked this little piece up at my Grandmother's estate because I found it humorous. It is an advertising promo from Dupont for a product called Lannate, which I see to be a bug killer. It is clear plastic with a white base. It has a thin plastic insert inside (does not come out) which has the Dupont logo and the words "Lannate is lightning" with a lightning bolt crashing down on a dead caterpillar, type bug which I'm pretty sure is real. I think the item might be a paperweight. It is 4 1/8" tall and the base is 1 3/8" square. This is a really neat promo and I'd really like to get a value range on it because I feel it may be rare but I'm not sure.

Re: Dupont "Lannate is lightning"

I'm not sure why people really need paper weights it's not like our offices are out doors with wind blowing throwing paper all over the place. As for promotional gifts they are ok, there nothing better though then pet rock back when some guy sold rocks to people as pets, that is the equivalent to our modern day paper weights.
