I'm a sucker for stuff like this. I don't know the story behind it but I found it on eBay a few weeks back and threw an offer down. It commemorates the '58 Championship Game and I was pretty excited to pick it up. I've looked it over pretty close and it appears to be a legit vintage piece.
I have some vintage Colts glassware and a commemorative stein along the same line and it's a nice companion piece for those. I'm gonna need some new shelves soon.
Here is it with a card for comparison's sake.
And the back.
Oh, here is another display piece, a furry one. Her name is Rascal and she is our 'grandcat'. She belongs to one of my sons and his gf. Rascal spends a lot of time with us because her 'parents' are always off doing 'young couple stuff'. Well, that and the fact that Rascal likes it here because my wife spoils her.
That's her kitchen perch. She also has one in here with me. She likes watching me type while we listen to Oscar Peterson. Mostly, she likes to nap.
It doesn't get much better than OP doing Satin Doll.
This is an incredible piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm allergic to cats... but Rascal is a cutie. And that dish is really cool. When I think of bloggers who enjoy collecting items like this... you're the first one that pops into my head.
