This exceptional set of player-issued championship pendants belonged to Dick Schafrath, one of only two players in history (alongside Jim Houston) to win championships at both the collegiate and professional levels with the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns. The set includes Schafrath’s 1957 Ohio State Buckeyes National Championship pendant, crafted in 14K yellow gold by Jostens and engraved “RPS-JSS 1957 Jostens 14K,” measuring approximately 26 × 18 × 8 mm and preserved in excellent vintage condition with light surface wear, commemorating Ohio State’s national title under legendary coach Woody Hayes. Also included is Schafrath’s 1964 Cleveland Browns NFL Championship pendant, crafted in 14K white gold, engraved “JSS 14K,” measuring approximately 25 × 19 × 9 mm, and set with a 0.50-carat solitaire diamond graded D color with IF–F clarity, commemorating the Browns’ 1964 NFL Championship, the final championship in franchise history. Both pendants were custom-issued to Schafrath as a key starting player on each championship team and represent an exceptionally rare pairing of collegiate and professional championship jewelry tied to a single athlete, distinguished by documented player issuance, original engravings, and outstanding craftsmanship by Jostens, making the set a historically significant and investment-grade example of elite American football memorabilia.
