    Description

    Please read carefully the item's condition issues stated below.
    This rare and unique item is a must-have for any Pontiac enthusiast. The 1958 Pontiac Automobile Dealership Accountant Honor Roll Award on smoked glass is a stunning piece of American automotive history. With its sleek design and make, this rectangle shaped plate-like award plaque is sure to be a conversation starter.
    The award is made of smoked colored glass and features a description of the honor roll designation in gold lettering, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Its U.S. automakers origin adds to its appeal and makes it a true piece of Americana. This item is perfect for collectors of automobiles, advertising, or American history. Don't miss your chance to own this rare and unique piece. Two small gold American Indian head Pontiac emblems are featured on the glass.
    Condition note:  The glass itself is in good condition with no chips, cracks or breaks. The gold lettering on the award is in good shape with a few areas where the gold is worn a little light (see the word "purpose" and the word "liquid" for example) and a few small scratches or tiny missing flecks in the gold paint.  The main condition issue is what looks to be a hard water stain on the face of the award.   Looking at the piece from some angles, it is hardly noticeable.  But, from other angles and in the right light, you can really see it.  I have captured this cloudy looking film on the glass in several photos.  I have not tried to clean this off for fear of rubbing off the gold lettering. I will let the new owner decide whether to attempt to try to clean it or keep it just as it is.
    Thank you for your interest.  I welcome any questions.  Kindly ask before bidding.
