Tony and Billy Conigliaro Premium Questions
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi-

I have had this premium showing Tony and Billy Conigliaro for a while. It is blank backed. Does anyone know what it was issued for and what year is it from? I think I read they had a restaurant at one point so maybe it was a promo for that? Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

How big is it? If it was for a restaurant, maybe it was a disposable placemat?

It is 8X10. Thank you for your thoughts on this.

I know nothing about the piece, but here’s a fun fact:

Coniglio in Italian means rabbit. Conigliaro means a rabbit raiser or dealer. Guess one of their ancestors raised rabbits back when surnames were being handed out.

They look like the frontmen for a Hermans Hermits tribute band. :D

There is one on WorthPoint that sold on eBay that doesn't reveal any new information. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...aro-1948667158

Thank you guys! Nicolo, that is a great fact. Cliff, good find. I am guessing these were given out at their restaurant or some other business venture.

Tony Conigliaro had a few big regional hits in Boston as a singer
