A plaque displaying a bronze-tone medallion and glass punch cup originally owned by Mississippi Governor Edmond Noel in the early 20th century and reportedly used by President Theodore Roosevelt while on a bear hunt*, then presented to the late Alaska Attorney General nominee Wayne A. Ross (1943-2026) by prominent Mississippi hunter Billy Ellis*. Also includes a 1.5-ounce metal shot glass shaped like a shotgun shell engraved with Wayne A. Ross's nickname "War", plus a presidential tumbler given to Wayne's father, Ray E. Ross, and campaign matchbooks. The plaque measures approximately 6.5" x 8.5" x 3" tall. *Provenance Note: As written on the plaque, the glass is represented as having been once owned by Mississippi Governor Edmond Noel, noting President Theodore Roosevelt used it during a bear hunting trip. The marked Near Cut pressed glass cup dates to circa 1904–1922, with Edmond Noel originally filling his role in 1908. No contemporaneous documentation or period photographs have been located to independently substantiate the stated historical association, and the provenance is offered as presented.
