Tigerrific Tag Toppers

Here I am, holding Joe Chris Sullivan's LSU Tag toppers.  They are affixed to 1942 Louisiana plates, as LSU is located in Baton Route, LA.  I would have killed for these; unfortunately they weren't for sale.  Joe tells me, according to tradition, when LSU won a major sports event, they would break off the tail of the tiger in celebration.  Ouch!
