Vintage Silver Plated Trophy - $40 (Ware, MA)
QR Code Link to This Post
The trophy is tarnished and I have left it that way because some people like that look. If you like that look then I suppose you call it 'patina'. If you don't, you call tarnish. If you like the polished look I'll leave the polishing to you. The plating appears to have worn through in some areas around the engraved lettering.
The interior is clean with a gold-tone finish. See photo.
There is a slight dent where the top of the left handle is attached. It only shows from the rear. See photo.
Total combined height of trophy and base is 20 inches.
Please contact me with any questions.
I'm in Ware, MA, about 15 minutes from MA pike exit 63, Palmer/Rt 32 , (formerly exit 8).
$40 Cash only.
It appears that the trophy was presented to the winners of tennis doubles winners from 1937-1956. There's no mention of a club or tournament name.
