1950s??? Red Helmet Clock

     Very sharp looking helmet clock that appears to be from the 1950s, though it could have been from a later era.  The reason I think the 50s is due to the color, as Nebraska wore red helmets until Coach Devaney took over in 1962. The Huskers wore red helmets with a gray face mask from 1957 through 1961, although this clock has a white mask.  Anyone out there have any more info to share on this one?

1950s??? Red Helmet Clock

     Another one very similar to the previous, but with "GO BIG RED" added to the top and more traditional clock hands. A little dusty, but you get the picture!

Not mine. 

1960s Bell Alarm Clock

Featuring Harry Husker

     Another nice Harry Husker memorabilia item. Harry took over as the official mascot in the early 1960s following the start of the Devaney era, replaced in the early 1970s at the start of the Osborne era.

1970 Running Harry Clock

     Here is a very hard to find clock from 1970 that features "Running Harry" on the face. Notice the different locations of some of the mascots compared to the clock below.  Measures 12" by 12" square. Click the small thumb below for a view of the clock box.

1971 National Champs Clock

     Nearly identical to the one above, this version commemorates the 1970 and 1971 back to back championships as noted in the logo at 6 o-clock. Click the image to enlarge.

     This clock was made by Creative Leisures of Jacksonville, FL put out by Mid City Bank of Omaha.  No idea what the date of issue was on this one.

1970s Herbie Husker Clock

     This is a small metal clock that measures only 8" in diameter.  Most likely from the late 1970s.

Not mine. Thanks to Bob Ihrig for the photo and information.

1970s Herbie & Player Clock

     This is a very neat clock from the 1970s featuring Herbie Husker and a Husker QB wearing #11 like the one above, not sure if a particular player or not. Has a burlap or fabric background. Almost appears to be 3 dimensional!

Not mine. Thanks to Cory Johnson for the photo.

Custom Pet Fan Alarm Clock

Lamps

1960s Lamp Bulb

     I'm guessing that this bulb is from the 1960s based on the style of lettering, although it may be older. If anyone has any information, please share and I'll update the description here.

Not mine. Thanks to Dave Brown for the photo.

1970-71 Lamp Bulb

The light bulb itself is a bit odd shaped, which adds to its uniqueness. The filament inside the bulb is formed in a pattern to commemorate the back to back National Championships of 1970 and 1971.

It is thought that Lawlor's Sporting Goods in Lincoln ordered the special bulbs from Luxor Lighting Products.  Some may have come with wood blocks for display purposes.  These were sold as working bulbs, as shown in the photo.

Not mine. Thanks to Bob Ihrig for the information.

1930s Pennant Table Lamp

This is an awesome glass based table lamp from the 1930s.  The shade measures 6" across at the top, 11" across at the bottom and features a University of Nebraska pennant. 

Not mine. Thanks to Bob Ihrig for the photo and information.

1969-1970 NU Table Lamp

I'm guessing the time period to be 1969 or 1970, as this is the cross-over between using "NU" to the single "N" on the side of the Cornhusker helmets, though the sides on this lamp are "UN" - just the reverse of what was used 1967-1969. It stands around 15" tall, with holes on the top and the back of the base for a cord and top.  Thanks to Dave Brown for the contribution.

1970s Child's Table Lamp

     Very nice child's night light table lamp. Likely early 1970s due to the red helmet design. Stands 9-1/2" tall. Click the thumb below to see it in action.

thanks to Chad Maun for the photo & info. 

1970s Child's Snoopy Table Lamp

     Another nice child's lamp similar to the one above, with a Big Red Snoopy on the side. Stands 10" tall. 

thanks to Dave Brown for the photo & info. 

1980s Herbie Helmet Table Lamp

     Not sure if this is a home made job, but I'm guessing not by the fact that the mini helmet is not a replica quality like Schutte or Riddell.  Football Field base with the added touch of the Herbie sticker on the shade makes it a nice piece.  Could be as from the 1990s as well. 

Not mine. 

1970s Harry Bank Table Lamp

     Another of a line of customized table lamps, this one using a 1970s Harry Husker Bank like the one posted here. Same shade, with a plaque (shown below) commemorating the career of Coach Bob Devaney form 1962-1972, including Big 8 Championships, National Championships, individual player awards, and career record at Nebraska. These are special lamps, indeed! 

Not mine, thanks to Dan Wagner!

Devaney Era Helmet Table Lamp

     Here are a pair of table lamps from the Devaney era, as evidenced by the helmet style from around 1971-1971, and the same plaque as on the previous lamp. Many items were put out at this time with the "new" helmet style and to celebrate the back to back National Championships.

Not mine, thanks to Dan Wagner!

Huskers "N" Table Lamp

     This one is the table and the lamp! May be a one of a kind or part of a run, not sure of the time period.  Very nice table lamp set, looks to be about 18" in diameter.

Not mine, thanks to Cory Johnson!

Devaney Era Helmet Hanging Lamp

     Same helmet, different lamp.  This one is of the hanging variety.  

Football Mug Lamp?

     I have to think that this is a one of a kind item made by someone from their personal collection.  The red mug is a plastic lidded stein of sorts, such as those found here.  Would definitely take a small lamp shade!

Not mine.
