Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! This assortment consists of a collection of vintage molded plastic charms shaped like various sports balls, including footballs and basketballs, which are characteristic of mid-century vending machine prizes. Each charm is designed with an integrated hanging loop. The collection displays a variety of plastic colors and finishes, including solid metallic gray, yellow, off-white, black, and several marbled or swirled multi-color patterns. Multiple charms feature embossed block lettering identifying American universities. Specifically, one metallic gray charm is marked NYU, one marbled pinkish-gray charm is marked DUKE, and another metallic gray charm is marked KENTUCKY. The pieces exhibit molded textures representing ball seams and lacing. Visible manufacturing characteristics include mold seams and small injection gate marks.
Condition report:
The collection is in good vintage condition. The charms show signs of age and previous use, such as minor surface wear, light scuffing, and incidental scratches. Some residual mold flashing from the manufacturing process is present on several pieces. The integrated hanging loops appear generally intact.
