Small wooden treasure awarded to Joey Bishop by the Friars Club in 1968. The chest is painted brown with gold detailing. A plate engraved “Friar Joey Bishop” is attached to the top of the chest. The chest has a hinged lid that opens to reveal a King’s Ransom Scotch whiskey bottle and has three glasses, one tumbler, and two shot glasses.
