Olds paperweight?

Can someone help me identify this item I found on a car I purchased. The only thing on it is the olds symbol and then Tiffany & Co on the bottom. I am assuming it is some sort of 75th anniversary paperweight for dealers?

I’m going to assume that the car you had purchased is not one of the Tiffany ‘72 Ninety Eights..😃

No, I wish. I bought a 64 jetstar from a gentleman that owned a oldsmobile dealership from 50's up to recent retirement. He passed and I bought the car at the estate auction. This was left in the car with what seemed like all of his desk contents. That's why I am guessing a paperweight?

I doubt it is an anniversary anything as it would have said so on it. That rocket is the late 60s through 70s one, I believe.

My guess is a sales award related to 1972 75th Anniversary, esp w Tiffany logo.

With a Tiffany logo, might Tiffany & Co. have some record of what it is?

No matter the history looks like it could have been had for $ 25.00.

I found a number of the Tiffany Diamond corporate paperweights. Must have been a thing...back in the day. You may have one of the few $25.00 Oldsmobile paperweights in existence.
