Oldest Dolphins Memorabilia

[coalesce]

To help kill the time between now and opening day, I was thinking: What's the oldest piece of Dolphins memorabilia (clothing, etc.) that you own that you bought yourself or from a family member and not off of eBay? For me, it would be this pajama top my mother bought for me back in either 1974 or 1975. What's in your closet?

And the back of the bottle has a picture of the Orange Bowl and the season W/L record with scores of each game...all of the lettering on the bottle is in aqua, orange and white...

As someone who collects soda cans and bottles, I would love to have this. That’s awesome

I got these off eBay. Apparently they don't count ... even though I was a toddler when they were made. The lithograph is pretty new and I haven't found a decent frame for it yet.

I have the the Dr. Pepper bottle still full and unopened. I have a lot of 70's Dolphins collectibles, I'll look through and post some of my oldest items when I get a chance.

I have that too, but mine still has the Dr. Pepper in it. I doubt its any good....not that Dr. Pepper is any good :)
I do have all the Topps team sets starting in '66 (through the early 2000's).
