Kenn Domerese – Michigan Memorabilia Super Collector

Wait until you see this guy’s collection!

Recently I had a chance to visit the incredible personal U-M memorabilia collection at the home of Kenn Domerese.

In Part I: we start with a brief interview followed-up by a look at a few items from his collection. This episode includies Michigan helmets from the 1910s and 1930s, a vintage cane that once belonged to Irving Pond (the man who scored the first touchdown in U-M history), original sheet music from The Victors, a 1930s “Schedule Bot”, a 1901 cloth item dedicated to Fielding H. Yost’s first team, and much more:

Part II: During this part we look at a commemorative plaque from the 1926 Michigan Stadium dedication, 2 vintage ashtrays from U-M “Smokers”, a variety of items from Anthony Carter’s personal collection including an autographed photo with Bob Hope, his letterman’s jacket, an few items from Tom Harmon’s football gear collection, a shipswheel dedicated to Harry Kipke and much more!
