Vintage Football Punter Trophy - Flea Market Find
Despite never getting a trophy showing off a punter during my time in Jr. High or High School or even college down at the University of Illinois, I have NOW rectified that and am the proud owner of this sweet vintage punter trophy! I picked it up at the Kane County Flea Market during the same trip when we got these Fraggle McDonalds cars and the Chipettes glass . I had never seen a punter trophy before, so you know the old rule: when you see something you've never come across before, you need to buy it. So, I knew I had to have it. Fortunately, Nat was looking at a vintage book in the same booth and after decided she wanted it, I packaged up the book and this guy. I think the vendor figured that if she didn't sell this thing to me, she wasn't going to sell it to anyone as the buyers for a 60's era vintage punter trophy are rare, I'm guessing. So, she gave us a great price for the book and basically threw the trophy in for nuttin'. Pretty sweet deal
