I own an advertising specialty company - now in our 45th year I am happy to report - and I worked in the industry for many years prior to establishing my own firm. For a long time my best client was what was formerly known as "The Bell System". Of course after divestiture it was broken up into what was generally called the "Baby Bells" - and later morphed into many variations.
So over the years we worked very closely with Western Electric, AT&T, Southern Bell, BellSouth, BellSouth International, Lucent Technologies, OFS, Avaya, etc. I collected many over-run samples, one-of-a-kind spec samples, and the likes.
I am now selling much of that collection via eBay. Here is a nice AT&T golf shirt, cap and 6 golf tee packets.
Details:
* The golf shirt is well made in the U.S.A. by Pinehurst Apparel. It is in 100% combed cotton. Features include - two button placket, knit collar & sleeves, taped neck, and drop tail back. Embroidered is the AT&T logo in striking gold to contrast with the beautiful blue soft cotton material. Also embroidered on the left sleeve is a design for "Action 120", one of the AT&T projects. The size is XL. Approximate measurements are: 22" across shoulders / 25" under arm pit / 32.5" neck to bottom of tail.
* This is a nice golf or baseball cap. It is in welted corduroy with solid back. The front inside is reinforced for a nicer and longer lasting look. It has a leather strap and brass buckle adjustment. The AT&T logo patch is sewn on the front;
* You will also receive 6 golf tee packets. AT&T was big on golf events - both as a sponsor as well as company outings. You will receive 6 golf packets. The packets include four AT&T imprinted tees and logo marker, all in a convenient package. This entire product was made in the U.S.A.
Although these items are old, they were never used and are in remarkably outstanding as new condition. I believe the cap and tees are from the 1980's, while the shirt is sometime later - as evidenced by the different logo versions.
An excellent addition to anyone who worked at AT&T or collects old Bell System memorabilia. A very rare find for sure.
From a smoke-free, pet-free climate controlled environment, and these samples have been kept in sealed containers in one of our sample rooms.
Only $33.00 FOR EVERYTHING !!! PLUS you will receive a few extra surprise telephone related samples AND a free hand drawn in ink personalized cartoon "Thank You" note! If you search eBay you will see many listings for AT&T advertising items where just one small piece is selling for several dollars. Here is your opportunity to purchase 3 different items for one low price.
I have other AT&T samples listed - assuming they are not yet sold. I will be listing more of my telephone related items along with other old advertising pieces.
With 1550+ feedback's and 100% positive responses you can buy from me with confidence! For my international buyers, contact me for details.
Thanks for looking...
Side note regarding marble from Italy - I enjoy sportscars, and have owned many nice examples - A Lotus, 4 Acura NSX's, several M-B SL's, 2 Austin Healeys, 3 TR-6's , MGB's, etc. We are fortunate to have also owned two Italian Maserati's, although when some services were required, fortunate is the wrong word. It was costly maintaining those beauties. Anyway, our last one was a beautiful Spyder in the special color of "Dolomite Quartz". The name was derived from the fact it was the color of the vein of quartz marble from the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy, and striking in appearance. There were only ten produced in that color that year - and I do miss it...the car...not the upkeep... For my current daily driver, I wanted another Italian vehicle, but not another Maserati. I have a new Alfa Romeo Giulia that I like. It too has an unusual name for the color - Vesuvius Grey. It is the color of the ash from when Mount Vesuvius erupted covering Pompeii. The Italians do have a way of naming the colors of their automobiles... I especially like Ferrari's "Fly Yellow"...
