Featured Tiffany's Super Bowl trophy...

I saw this yesterday morning. When "Gronk" used the one they won as a baseball bat I will lay odds there was more than one of the artisans who wanted to string him up by his toenails.

 

I'll probably never get to hold one of those in my hands, but if I save up a bit maybe I can buy one of these

Have to admit that I gave a loud gasp when I saw that - in Gronk's defense, he's had a whole bunch of concussions...

While you're hunting silver, might keep an eye out for some of the presentation pieces from the same period on the links below (proof that stuff put online never disappears) - a good number of them apparently haven't been seen for decades. I get several inquiries a year, usually just asking to use the images for research, articles, etc. (they're in open domain). Some absolutely incredible designs (I have tons more images in my files, but 2010 turned into a disastrous year, life got tricky, and never got back to them)...

Didn't see the game but the half-time show was pretty awful - no class.

 

Agree Blooey. It should have been X rated. Never seen so much crotch, a$$ and wiggling outside of a strip show.

Wink, thanks for the articles. Those are beautiful pieces. Well worth the read.

 

I liked the half time show....

 

As blooey said the half time show had No Class! ! !

 

maybe so....but it was entertaining...

Eh, everyone has different tastes and sensibilities, but the half-time show was a winner for me (so much better than the Puppy Bowl half-time)...
