(Click on any picture to enlarge it)

Clubs from across the country often chose the same name. There were also clubs that had chapters in different towns or areas. The pages listed below show how the designs were different from club to club.

Here are some of the most popular club names. Click on an underlined club name below to see the plaque designs for those clubs.

T-Timers

Founded by Hal Hild in the 1950's, the T-Timers were a large west coast club that had many chapters throughout California. Each club used the same plaque but several chapters had a small "topper" made to indicate where their club was based.

California Chapters known to exist, in addition to the clubs from Arcadia, Bellflower, El Monte, Inglewood, Riverside, San Gabriel Valley, South Gate and Victorville, shown above, were in Culver City, Fresno, Fullerton, Glendale, Lancaster, Newhall, Paramount, Pomona, Redding, Redlands, Sacramento, San Fernando Valley, Santa Ana, Santa Barbara/Goleta, Santa Monica, Torrance, Tulare, Venice, Visalia, West Hollywood, Westchester and Whittier.

In the later part of the 1960's, membership was declining and the Culver City, Venice and Westchester chapters were combined and called the Marina chapter. If you have knowledge of other chapters, please let us know so they can be added here.

Other clubs used the same basic design for their chapter's plaques.
Some examples of the current Over The Hill Gang plaques are shown here.
