MarkI am intrigued by the Gibbs Conner prototypes that were uncovered about 4 years ago. For 50 years (1954 - 2004), the only known piece was the Chief Wahoo Bank. I always wondered why Gibbs Conner didn't produce others (similar to Stanford Pottery).
When the other Teams were discovered, it was a monumental find, that really hasn't received the publicity one would expect. As most of you know, these were never publicly released, and never hit retail store shelves. Anyway, I wanted to post a couple of rarely-seen items that are leaving my collection...
These are huge Cookie Jars... both gem mint. A Brooklyn Bum and a Milwaukee Braves Mascot. They are going to a great home, but wanted to take one final opportunity to share these images, as they are seldom-seen. Apparently, less than 5 of each were discovered.
Please post your Gibbs Conners, if you have 'em...
