Picks? A particular t-shirt? Car freshener?

I have the Kaman Album still in wrap, several gathering tees but expecially the PNW gathering Tee where I share a canoe with some OFCers!

Oh, the silverware I swiped from Miles' house...

Beer or cigarette companies usually have the best. Some Ovation Schwag or "Swag"....

I routinely wear the black "plug-it-in" t-shirt and have a couple of Ovation caps as well. I also have a blue Ovation backpack that I use for guitar gear. I consider it one of my more rare eBay finds.

I had one of those mauve T-shirts like Damon.
I wore that damn thing till it wasn't fit wash the truck with.
Mrs. Slipkid grew to despise it.
I wish I had bought 4 of them.
.
Not exactly swag but I nicked a block of scrap, skunk-striped neck wood during the factory tour.
.
I'm afraid my 8 year old OFC t-shirts have sunk to the "around the house only" stage. Next will come the "fit for yard work" stage. Then, alas, off to the landfill they will go.
.
I have a heavy, pewter key chain that is quite nice.
.
Oh... and I have one of those long sleeve denim shirts with the O logo over the pocket.
It's getting a bit thread bare at the elbows and neck so it won't be around much longer.
Maybe I can cut the logo out and have some kind of patch made of it.

What a shame, though I find that well worn and washed t-shirts make excellent rags for cleaning and polishing guitars ... maybe next stage after yard work.

well Brad, now you just have to settle for the TUS swag and T-Shirts that pop up on rare occasions.

I know PEZ acquired and proudly wears one from the benefit concert held at PD Walsh's a few years ago.

I guess this is my favorite because I have been using it everyday for over 15 years.  

 

It was part of the swag package when one joined the orignal Ovation Online Owners Club

I realize this is "just" a keyfob... but seriously, what a statement on quality.  It's been my main keyfob for over 15 years, essentially used every day.  The logo is an actual inlay and I believe the wood is ebony.

Fer sure.  Probably the only super, super, super shallow bowl on the planet.

For me, it would have to be the hard-back History of Ovation Guitar book that was given out at the first factory tour. It's even got scribbling inside the front cover that was done by some cat who worked at a filling station.

I had a nice Ovation guitar strap (soft leather) with the rosette embossed on it. Mine was tan; they also came in dark brown. Only problem – over time it just sort of shriveled up, like a shirt that shrank in the dryer, until it became unusable. Really liked it when it was new…

That key chain is cool. I would buy that, for sure. I have a cool shelby ring for my pick up, that O one would be perfect for the Pony!

Hi, Ovation people!
I got an Ovation/Adamas brown vinyl zippered case cover just before they stopped making them in the early 90's. It's a tight fit, but it does go on the modern black Ovation deep-bowl cases, when it's needed. I also got an Ovation muscle t-shirt, when the music store I worked in back in the 80's got a dealership. I really liked it, until I found out the hard way that it was not 100% cotton, and I was allergic to it! Yikes! Fortunately, for the benefit all good Ovation players everywhwere, I DO NOT HAVE any photos of me wearing this particular piece of clothing. I also no longer have the muscles, so no wardrobe malfunctions will occur.
