Frank Miller of Tulsa, Oklahoma started making a yearly glass token of the National show starting after the first National in 1970. The McDougalds took over from Frank in 1979 and in 2010 they donated the mold to the NIA. Each year the mold has it's embossing reworked for the next National show. This includes both the base ring and the dome top. In many cases the previous year can be reworked to add the next years embossing, but that can only be done so many times -- these are the mold tops that were not reworked for the next year. A very cool item and a go-with for the commemorative!

There are four mold top pieces available in the current NIA Benefit Auction -- 2002 Fort Collins show -- 2006 Austin Texas show -- 2010 Boxborough, MA show -- 2011 San Jose National show
