I mean literally, because from a football standpoint, NU has the rights to the Shillelagh and has had them for the past 23 years and needs no recovery from that standpoint.
Lost: Shillelagh. Untold historical and sentimental value.
Description: One of a kind blackthorn shillelagh walking stick, 36" long, with a plan silver band at the bottom and a silver presentation band around the upper portion, inscribed, "Notre Dame-Northwestern Football Trophy, Presented by William T. Cosgrove, President of the Irish Free State 1931." The band is decorated in a Shamrock pattern and bears a silver hallmark. In fine condition, with some chips and cracks to the original finish, and tarnishing to silver bands.
Rightful owners: for the past 23 years, Northwestern University Wildcats
Last seen: 2016 Auction, RR Auction of Amherst NH
Cash Reward of undisclosed sum offered to any one who can provide information to the whereabouts of this stolen relic or anything else leading to it's recovery. Time is essential, as it is hoped that the item can be recovered in time for Northwestern's historic win over the Irish on Saturday Nov 3.
