Description
Visually identical to the one issued to the legendary coach himself!
1967 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl II Championship Ring Gifted by
Vince Lombardi to Close Friend. He shepherded his Green Bay
Packers to victory in the first two editions of the Super Bowl, and
will forever remain synonymous with NFL supremacy due to the Super
Bowl Championship trophy that bears his name. Certainly it goes
without saying that any relics that link Vince Lombardi to American
sports' most celebrated event carries enormous historical
significance and collecting appeal, and this is a particularly
special example thereof.This dazzling showpiece was a gift from the Hall of Fame coach to a gentleman named Zenon Hansen, chairman and president of Mack Trucks, Inc., such a close buddy that Hansen and his wife sat next to Lombardi and his wife in Miami to watch Joe Namath shock the world in the first Super Bowl that didn't include the Packers. A photocopy of that image is included in the lot.
The only difference between this ring and Lombardi's own is the cubic zirconia gemstones replacing the diamonds on the ring face, representing the team's three consecutive Championships. They are set in a football-shaped green stone, edged by raised text reading "Green Bay Packers World Champions." The left shank announces the scores of the Ice Bowl (NFL Championship) and Super Bowl with crown imagery, a Packers helmet and the word "Challenge." Right shank announces "Lombardi, NFL/AFL, Run to Win." Interior band is stamped "14K" with the Josten's logo, measuring to a commanding size fifteen (15). Weight is forty-seven grams (47 g.). Condition is virtually pristine. Ring is presented in a cylindrical wooden box engraved with Hansen's initials.
