    Description

    I am very pleased to offer what I consider a very hard to find pair of Frankoma Billikens that were actually giveaways for the Royal Order of Jesters and it is signed on the bottom "Jesters Day May 7-8-1954" "Host K.S.Boots Adams.  From what I can gather KS stood for Kenneth Stanley the then president of Phillips Petroleum and the "Billiken" is the mascot for the ROJ.  There were supposedly only around 550 made and they were actually given out to those members who belonged or were associated w The fraternal order. They had a saying that "Mirth was King" and were the best of the best...creme de la creme! PLease know that each is in excellent shape and there is no chips, cracks, nicks, or repairs. If anyone has any thoughts on these please reach out and email me  THanks and please see my other great offerings  THank you
