Detailed Item Description: This very large and impressive award is a first presentation RIAA 2x Multi-Platinum award that would have been manufactured in 1995. That makes it approx. 28 years old. The award is presented to Stones guitarist Ron Wood.
This award is in VG condition with only very minor mars on the frame and plexiglass, and some very minor finish degradation around the label on one of the platinum LPs (see images). It has its original back with no manufacturer sticker but there is sticker residue. It was most likely made by Fitzgerald Hartley given various details of the award.

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards like this one: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. 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.
