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. *RIAA sales data source: RIAA.com Record label in-house "platinum" record award for over one million in sales of Record label in-house "platinum" record award for over one million in sales of Made in 1971 making it about 54 years old Plate reads: "Congratulations from MCA to Stephen James for sales in excess of 1,000,000 units 'Tumbleweed Connection' " In Very Good conditio Award measures 15.5" x 15.5" Great, historic collectors item for any Elton John fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada International shipping available
