I had hoped to put this post together weeks ago when the Auburn baseball season was just getting started and hope filled the air, but that obviously didn’t happen. A prolonged losing streak and an oh-fer in the SEC so far has turned that hope to anguish and the idea of a baseball only post [...]
War Eagle Relics has always been about sharing the great trinkets and collectables that the Auburn family has amassed throughout the years and was never intended to be some kind of online garage sale for hawking our wares. Until now! In lieu of a normal post (which is coming soon, I hope), below are a [...]
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a chance to put a War Eagle Relics together, but here are a few things I’d like to share with you on this fine February morning. Auburn Clown “Well, I have some stuff you might like. I don’t know why I haven’t sent you any of these [...]
Pat Dye Syracuse Tie “You know those Pat Dye Syracuse ties? This is one of them, and maybe the only one signed by both Dye AND Syracuse’s coach, Dick Macpherson. Sent by that dude who owns /owned that Tiger Prowler thing — His explanation of how he acquired it: ‘the man that sold it to [...]
When I started this post way back in late April I figured I would be lucky to get beyond a couple installments. Thirty-plus posts and hundreds of unique and interesting items later, I think it’s fair to say my expectations were exceeded. Just a bit. As the months went on and real life responsibilities [...]
Auburn Fraternity Rat Cap (1955) “This is my dad’s old rat cap from fall of 1955. Fraternity pledges had to wear these at all times or there were consequences. The back reads: RAT TORBIT HENRY ? I am unable to make out the last line of writing.” - Steven Henry Despite the headgear that you [...]
Auburn Postcard (1908) “I’m a Bama fan and collector, but I came across this about 20 years ago at an antique shop in Birmingham. I thought you and your readers might enjoy it. It’s an Auburn football postcard from right after the 1908 season and it’s postmarked January 8, 1909.” - Alan Weaver Sometimes inspiration [...]
Shug Jordan Roast Mini-Jersey (1976) “So this year stinks…so be it. War Eagle Relics will help us make it through. Apparently there was a Roast of Coach Jordan on May 21st, 1976. I haven’t found any information about this event except for this mini-jersey. Looks like it was a fundraiser to fight M.S.” - @lulupuppydog [...]
Auburn Puppet (‘80s) “The puppet is from the early 1980′s. My grandfather gave it to me. I have no idea where it he got it nor have I ever seen another one like it.” - @lulupuppydog I’ve never seen an Auburn puppet like this, but I had the exact same thing in South Carolina Gamecock [...]
I didn’t think I’d be able to get a Relics in this week due to a bit of travel and general real world obligations, but my fear of the post turning into a relic itself the minute I stop cranking them out spurred me into action at the 11th hour. It will be a bit [...]
