Reserve forward Gene Guarilia had the rare distinction of having won an NBA Championship in every year of his four-year NBA career. These were all with the Celtics naturally since there was no other opportunity for such a feat outside of Boston. Representing his first of those titles Guarilias 1959-60 Boston Celtics Championship size 12 1/2 ring is cast in 10k gold and features WORLD CHAMPIONS encircling a basketball motif with a diamond in the center. The identical left and right shanks read 1960 above a shamrock in relief and a banner that reads "CELTICS." The inside of the ring is engraved with the player's name "G. Guarilia" and stamped "KOCH 10K." With the implication that Guarilia likely received only one ring in spite of four titles (as was Red Auerbachs standard) the ring shows some moderate to heavy wear with all design elements still discernible. Weighs 26 grams.
Includes a LOA from Gene Guarilia.
