So I figure it's time to re-visit a fun Rutgers football topic - Rutgers football rarities and memorabilia. Any interesting items you have acquired with an historical story that you can post a picture of?
I just acquired this little guy who was made in Japan, possibly as early as the late 1930s or into the 1950s. The cheap celluloid doll pinbacks were college specific and sold at stadiums. You see "Japan" stamped on the back of his head. Many items like this between 1946 and 1950 were stamped with "Manufactured In Occupied Japan." So this guy is a little before the War or from the 1950s.
Anybody interested in sharing? I'll try to help you date the memorabilia if it's from way back.
