Mosser Glass, Inc. made this small McKee-type glass lion in Mosser's "Bonnie Blue" a deep rich turquoise blue color. The lion top was pressed using the mould owned by the Phil Rosso Glass. The split-rib base mould was made by the Island Mould and Machine Company, Wheeling West Virginia exclusively for the NMGCS and was used to press this commemorative.

The 2011 NMGCS convention was held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, MI on September 23-24, 2011.
