Obtained directly from the family of Jackie Robinson in the mid-1990s. Josh Evans got this from Rachel Robinson and will include his Letter of Authenticity. 11.75" tall statue of an Indian chief was, "Presented To Mr. Jackie Robinson By The South Jersey Division Shareholders - Chock Full O' Nuts - Cherry Hill Inn - April 8, 1961." Jackie went to work for the socially conscious "Chock Full O' Nuts" as the Vice President and Director of Personnel. Ironically the social icon was given an award that would today be lambasted for its lack of good taste.
