Detailed Item Description: This is a first presentation RIAA Platinum "R hologram" award that would have been manufactured shortly after the certification date in 1994, making it approximately 29 years old. This award was given to radio industry executive Jhani Kaye.

The award is in VG condition with minor mars on frame and plexiglass. Note that it has one chip on the back edge of the bottom rail frame covering but this cannot be seen from the front. The award has its original manufacturer label from Ill Eagle Enterprises on it's backing paper.

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards like this one: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece.

As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description.
