OJ Simpson Personally Owned Buffalo Bills Cufflink. Ex Goldin To Benefit Victims

Title: Buffalo Bills Helmet Cufflink from the O.J. Simpson Estate – In Original Presentation Box

Description:
This vintage Buffalo Bills cufflink, housed in its original plush blue velvet presentation box from "Hamric & Sheridan Jewelers," is a striking collectible directly from the estate of NFL legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson. The cufflink features the iconic Buffalo Bills charging buffalo logo on a white helmet, rendered in vivid enamel against a polished silver-tone oval frame. The reverse includes a classic toggle backing for wear. The box remains in excellent vintage condition, with its interior satin lining bearing the jeweler’s mark and the exterior showing only minor age-appropriate wear.

Historical Context:
Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson was one of the most dominant running backs in NFL history. Playing for the Buffalo Bills from 1969 to 1977, Simpson became the first player to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season (1973), earning him MVP honors and cementing his place in football history. Beyond the field, Simpson became the center of one of the most publicized criminal trials in American history. In 1995, he was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in a criminal trial. However, in 1997, a civil jury found him liable for their wrongful deaths and awarded a $33.5 million judgment to the victims’ families. Simpson later served prison time from 2008 to 2017 for unrelated felony charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping, stemming from a 2007 incident in Las Vegas.
