Sunglasses

Just bought this cutesy pair....I think they are Wayfarers for kids.  They are called Gameday Wayfarers.

I like to collect auto pen autographed footballs and player model footballs.  I have a few right now.  It allows me to remember the different teams from when I was a kid and onward.  Here is my most recent addition from 1972.

Oops, forgot this one with several autographs from Platteville Training camp in 19__:

Here are the previous ones:

 

Here is my favorite one:

Well, ONE of them...

Here is a brand new Butkus sponsored ball from the 1970s, no box, but never used.  I also bought a smaller Bill Wade Model that is rubber.

Here is an auto penned ball from the 70s with some of the players that I remember as a kid.

This 1986 one has most of the Super Bowl XX team:

Bnox binoculars are not really high quality.  I believe they were probably handed out to the first
10,000 ticket holders for some specific game.  For some reason I want to think these first began in 1995 at a famous horse race, like the Kentucky Derby.  They were handed out there to patrons.

Started collecting fishing lures...lol.  I already have a couple of those designed and endorsed by Fred Arbogast.

Just picked up another one:

and here's one that might have been homemade...looks like a sticker, but I bought it anyway

I like unusual pieces of work as they pertain to da Bears.  Some of these things are generic and customized, like the huge painted Bear of Urlacher and the REALLY weird smiley guy looking up the bear's buttox.  I always wanted hang the "smiley, creepy" guy on the bathroom wall.  The Wood guy that sits on shelves is cool. but I keep knocking him down.  The swollen, red-nosed piece is one of my favorites - I think he made have been patterned by the Fred Kail figures of the 1960's.  In front of that guy is a clay figurine of Sid Luckman, a fan and a Coach....kind of neat.

 









Just got a cool trinket box for some special valuables:

Here's an ugly little 6 inch thing.
