This was not my first time buying something VERY rare and it turns out stolen. A couple years ago, I bought three watches from the Sugar Bowl and Blue Bonnet Bowl in the sixties.
The name was scratched off the backs. I was able to make out a couple letters and realized it was Pop Strange's watches (LSU Asst coach for 20+ years, player from the 30's, and had two sons on the team, one on the 1958 NC team).
I contacted his son to check on them, he said they were stolen back in the 70's. I got my money back from the estate sale, he got his dad's watches back. He ended up giving me one that I wear everyday.
