Detailed Item Description: This is a first presentation RIAA Platinum award that would have been manufactured in 1994 when this "R hologram" style of RIAA award was made (1990-97). That makes this award approx. 26 years old. It is presented to Al Teller, who was MCA Records Chairman/CEO from 1988-95.

The award is in Excellent, essentially new condition. It's quite possible that this award was never hung on a wall. The original Dejay Products manufacturer stickers are also present.

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards like this one: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece.

As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description.

In Excellent, essentially new condition.
