1970-1971-??? NC Music Box

     Very unique music box that plays "There Is No Place Like Nebraska" celebrating the back-to-back national titles from 1970 and 1971, and possibly anticipating a third straight from Coach Devaney's last season in 1972.   The base is six-sided.  I looked in the 1969 and 1971 media guides (don't have one for 1970) and did not find a #41 with a name that I recognized as a starter or backup player. This may have been a customized version.  Update: a second version added below 10/28/08.

Thanks to Arnold Remington for the photos and information...

Musical Lighted Football

     I have had 3-4 contributors send in photos of this one - sorry to take so long to post it.  It was put out in either late 1969 or early 1970 after the change to the helmet with the single "N" logo. It has a small night light in the top that lights when it is wound by rotating the helmet, playing "There Is No Place Like Nebraska" while the helmet rotates on top.  Three views of it give you an appreciation for the details on it.  Note that the logo designs are identical to a few other ceramic items in the Mugs and Steins section.        not in my collection...

Thanks to Chad Maun and an anonymous contributor for these photos.
