1967 NFL Championship Game "The Ice Bowl" Press Briefcase with Original Contents. Everything the Green Bay Packers franchise stands for can be summed up by three words: "The Ice Bowl." Also referred to as "The 1967 NFL Championship," this game was played in negative 48 degree wind chill temperatures, and has baffled onlookers as to how the players survived, not to mention how any team could concentrate enough to win the game. This historic contest took superior heart and determination, while coming down to a last-second quarterback sneak by the Packers' Bart Starr, which helped give Green Bay the win over the Dallas Cowboys, and propelled the team into their second straight Super Bowl appearance. In what would prove to be coach Vince Lombardi's final NFL Championship Game appearance, this game is commonly referred to as "One of the Greatest Games in NFL History."

Offered here is an original brief case, which is an example that was presented to a member of the press during that frigid league championship contest. It is important to note that instead of receiving press pins during the game, the NFL issued these briefcases to very few members of the press. Measuring at 2x11x15", it includes its original contents - press guide, address book, nail file, etc., while the interior turns into a clip board. One of four known.
