Griswolds


I have found several pieces of Griswold over the years, it’s an easy flip.
One time, I went to a moving sale in the garden district. The sale was inside, and all over the walls were 100+ pieces of Griswold, some common, some rare. I offered them $2500 for the collection. They weren’t planning on selling it, but decided they’d sell the whole lot. I go grab my checkbook, and when I came back in, they changed their minds. I actually upped my offer to $3500, but they wouldn’t sell.

Did you have any bowl pennants?


I had a few, mostly from the ‘59 Sugar Bowl. I think there is at least 6 variations of pennants from that game, including the one with the team photo on it. I actually had a Clemson one as well from that game

I had 3 from that game but used two of them in trades for other rare ones. Not sure if there even are pennants out there for the 16 I’m missing.

I have only been to the Range Avenue antique mall twice, and that was years ago, but I remember seeing your piece of artwork in one of the stores. It reminded me of a friend of mine, so I clearly remember it being there. Either you bought it soon after I saw it, or it sat there for quite a while. Good on you for finding out that it was a hidden gem.

It was in a cheap broken metal frame, the glass was cracked, and they had it listed as a nautical print. When I was checking out, the shop owner realized it was a painting, not a print.

Hot Sauces. Started around 1995, there were not that many at the time. Picked them up wherever we went . When Katrina hit, I had 647. Stopped right after the storm. I have some limited runs, construction company promos, birthday private label, Etc. I have a Thoth Parade that one of the floats did in 1998.

Have any of you ever seen a pennant from the Music City Bowl vs Notre Dame or the Texas Bowl vs Texas Tech?
