These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 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 The Hit Factory® is a registered trademark of The Hit Factory Licensing LLC award for Billy Joel album award for Billy Joel album award for Billy Joel album Presented to The Hit Factory "Times Square" recording studio In VG conditio Made around 1990 Award measures approx. 13.5" x 17" One-of-a-kind collector's item for any fa One-of-a-kind collector's item for any fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada International shipping available
