Detailed Item Description: This is a first presentation RIAA 3x Multi-Platinum award that would have been manufactured in 1995 making it 25 years old. The award is presented to music industry executive Jim George. It's not known what role George played in the creation or promotion of the release.

This award has been reframed but all internal components appear 100% original. The advantage is that the original frames from this period were plastic-wrapped wood that often come unglued and disintegrate, so a new solid black frame makes the award look great and have greater longevity while retaining the look of the original frame.

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.

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.
