Description: Sports fans, if you’re a fan of the Baltimore Colts, then you may be interested to learn about the origin and history behind their nickname. The name “Colts” was chosen for the team in 1947 when it joined NFL as an expansion franchise.The team held a contest to find its new nickname, with entries ranging from Bullets to Bees and Marauders. However, Charles Evans of Middle River, Maryland, submitted Colts as his winning entry because he believed it fitted for several reasons: firstly that colts are some of the youngest animals in nature; secondly that Maryland is well-known for its racehorses; and lastly because ‘colts’ is short enough to fit into newspaper headlines easily while also being easy enough for people pronounce correctly.Vintage 1960s NFL Baltimore Colts Football Nodder Bobblehead ~Missing Wood Base Nodder is made of paper mache' and stands 6"Tall now without the base. This nodder is from the square wood base series made from 1960-1963. It differs from the paper mache' square base that has a stripe on the helmet. This is all original with no restoration at all. Besides missing the Wood base that it was glued to the only thing I can see is a hairline crack to the back of the bottom of the head. The spring is strong and bobbles as it should. Displays in near mint condition. See all photos as they are part of the description. Any questions please ask and Thanks for Looking!This will be carefully packed and shipped USPS Ground Advantage.
