Indiana University running back John Isenbarger, who helped the Hoosiers win an unlikely Big 10 title, received this terrific timepiece for his participation in the 1969 Shriner's East-West Game. The 10k gold-filled Hamilton watch features an illustrated face and great engraved logo on the back, along with the wording: "ISLAM TEMPLE 45th SHRINE EAST-WEST FOOTBALL GAME, JOHN ISENBARGER EAST TEAM DEC. 27, 1969." The still-working watch is immaculate, with stainless steel expansion band, 35mm diameter and distinctive "H" trademark that is coveted by collectors. On the left side of the face, the letters E-A-S-T serve as the hour markers for 7-10, while the W-E-S-T letters represent hours 2-5. A vibrant red, yellow and green football sits in between, along with the word "SHRINE" near the top. Isenbarger later played four pro seasons in the 49ers backfield.
