Offered here are three awards given to legendary Dodgers manager Walt Alston who directed the fortunes of the club for 23 seasons between 1954 and 1976 winning 2040 games seven National League Pennants and four World Series crowns. Here then are three plaques commemorating historic seasons in Dodgers history years when the club won two pennants – 1956 and 1963 and one World Series (1963) – all extraordinary achievements in the annals of Brooklyn and Los Angeles lore and legend. The plaques carry dutifully engraved proclamations and laurels from potentates and presidents a listing that includes Jewish War Veterans from Pittsburgh Pa. and the Al Malaikah Shrine Temple in Los Angeles. All three plaques are in excellent condition extremely well preserved in the ensuing decades and in most cases largely as-issued and problem-free often revealing only the light tarnishing of gold-plated sections or nominal nicks or bruises to wood back borders. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from the Walter Alston Collection.
