Detailed Item Description: This RIAA Platinum Album award was made in 1995, making it about 30 years old. It is presented to The Hit Factory®, the recording studio in New York City where the album was pieced together and recorded, along with studio owner the late Ed Germano, who owned the facility since 1975.

The award is in VG condition with only very minor mars on the frame and plexiglass. It is all original and although the manufacturer sticker had been torn off, the details indicate that the award was made by Ill Eagle Enterprises. The numbered sticker on the back of the award is an inventory number from the recording studio.

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 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.

Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide.
