This original promotional mug features the classic “Eyewitness News TV 12” logo along with the ABC emblem and Gilmore Broadcasting Corp. name. The bold green graphics and heavy white milk-glass construction give it a terrific period look.
Based on the station branding, ownership identification and graphic style, this mug most likely dates from approximately the 1970s to early 1980s.
A particularly nice collectible for anyone interested in Joplin history, Missouri broadcasting, vintage television, local news memorabilia, ABC network collectibles, or former KODE employees and viewers.
