This is a collection of Artifacts from the National Association of Ameteur Oarsmen. The first is a plastic box with a metal lid, with the NAAO flag and a serpent. It is designed to hold the metal stamp used to mark official documents, and engraved plates for designating the conditions of trophy custody. The plates are as follows: "This trophy is the permanent property of NAAO and must be surrendered on demand by a duly authorized official of the said association." There is also a 1960's era NAAO Window Sticker.

In 1967, this bear was taken to Vichy, France, as a mascot by the PGRC Eight representing the United States in the Women's European Championships
