When Michael Strahan said his goodbyes last week, Kelly Ripa presented him with the actual high heel pumps he wore during a Halloween segment...bronzed.

COLUMBUS, OH, USA, May 26, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- So who bronzed those size 16 stilettos that Kelly gave Michael on his last day on Live with Kelly and Michael? The Bronzing King, Bob Kaynes, that's who. Kaynes is the owner of American Bronzing Company, a business his grandmother started in 1934. Her name was Violet Shinbach and she was known as "The Mother of Baby Shoe Bronzing."

As the heir to the bronzing throne, Kaynes has also bronzed the baseball cap they gave to Derek Jeter at Yankee Stadium when he retired and the football cleats Doug Williams wore when he was the MVP in the Superbowl.

He's bronzed baby shoes for LeBron James' children...and also the little actress who plays Lily on Modern Family. (Plus about 13,000,000 other baby shoes for sentimental parents.)

With the tradition of bronzing keepsakes making a comeback thanks to social media, it's not surprising that ABC would choose to have something meaningful for Michael from the show bronzed for posterity.
