Description: WTTW Channel 11 Chicago 1969 TV Auction Item Tag. In nice condition with pieces of tape on the back. From the WTTW web site: "Back before our pledge programming became standard, WTTW’s big annual fundraiser used to be an on-air auction. Between 1967 and 1984, for more than a full week our entire broadcast schedule was preempted from noon until sign-off around midnight and replaced with eight 12-hour blocks of live auctions. Within a couple of years, the auction grew to an eight-day affair and you could buy just about anything you can imagine. A few highlights include a Mercedes Benz, a Rolls Royce, a Chevy Camaro, a Chrysler Imperial, a London taxicab, a Shetland pony, a polo pony, a pedigreed cow, an Afghan hound puppy, trips to the Caribbean, Israel, Vail, Madrid, Stockholm, and Hawaii; a mink bikini, a 20-foot Vienna sausage, a solar home, a fallout shelter, a stuffed two-headed llama called a Pushmi-Pullyu, belly dancing lessons, a chicken autographed by Svengoolie, and lunch with a chimpanzee. We hear the most prized item, though, was Bozo tickets, which any longtime Chicagoan can tell you were priceless." We are happy to combine shipping with other tickets/passes.
