Upcoming Auction: 2018 Managers Gift

Every year I produce a special item for our management team and others who have contributed to keeping the IAP running smoothly. We've had mugs, bowls, and last year it was a silkscreened pint glass. This year we have a really nice 16-ounce, two-tone glazed mug. Only 12 were made, and they're numbered (accompanied by certificate of authenticity). There are only three ways to get one of the managers gifts: be an active member of the IAP management team, as a special gift from me, or to win the yearly auction we have for the managers item.

If you win this auction, you can have your choice of #1 or #12.
I'll also include a pound of (your choice - milk or dark) chocolates from a Cleveland favorite: Malley's Chocolate

First Sweetener: Managers gift from last year. This is a pint glass with a silkscreened image. This is the last one available. I was going to keep this one for myself, but it never made it off the prize shelf, and it deserves a good home. This was the only gift ever made that actually says "Management Team".

Hey Chuck......anything else to add for this auction? Anyone got a bowl blank or a box of special wood?
Something extra to bid on to sweeten the pot so to speak? Right this minuet we are receiving a nice snow shower. Could be up to 8+ inches before the morning. Great weather to do your taxes in and see what your refund might be. That way you can spend a little bit of it here. Auctions are fun and in this weather the wife tells me to go read the IAP.

I'll bid $115.00
 
Stonepecker is back!

With a bid of $115.00!!

Thanks Wayne!

I think there are a few items lying around to make the pot sweeter. We'll see!

Will someone bid $120.00 tonight?​
 
Second Sweetener: We're going back in years, here. We've got this year's mug, last year's glass, and now here is the 12th anniversary manager's gift, the chili bowl. 2016 was the only time we've had something other than a mug or glass. Only 18 of these were made, and the only other one not in someone's collection is the one in the IAP mug archive.
