Vintage Shopping Test# 16

Hi Everyone
 Happy Saturday
 Happy February
Are you ready for another 
vintage shopping test
Here are two wonderful silver trophy's 
 one is also known as a
 Loving Cup


This Trophy is engraved First Place 

Individual Rifle Marksmanship
It has a black celluloid base and a beautiful filigree wreath  engraving


This Trophy is engraved La Jolla Country Club
Presidents Cup 

It does not have a base but it does have handles on both sides



Do you think you know which one is the
  real vintage Trophy
 and which one is the new reproduction


If you guessed the  La Jolla Country Club trophy you were...
~right~
 this trophy was won in
1933  and is worth 
$155 dollars
because it has two handles it is also called
 a Loving Cup


This trophy is a new reproduction of a trophy made in 1954
 and was $15
dollars


{Love}
Both trophies tell a story and
it is  so fun to dream of the winning one!!!!

How did you do
Did you pick right
leave me a comment and let me know

Vintage Trophy

 Hi Everyone
 Happy Wednesday

Warning!!!!
One small silver trophy can start a collection....
What was one adorable  second place sailing trophy
{ the little middle trophy}
 became two the one on the left is from 1913 and then
 there were three vintage silver trophies the one on the right is from 1940
all different sizes and shapes
{This is how a collection starts my friends}
 ~Vintage Silver Trophies~
that all capture a moment in time
 they  all tell a story of the past  not only in their design
 but in their beauty too
Now a larger trophy a bit crooked
 and not as fancy has found its way to our home
 and stolen my heart forever
This one from our son who found it at a garage sale for me
He handed it to me when he got home and said
I thought you might like this
It is a 1933
 La Jolla Country Club Presidents Cup trophy
He paid $14 dollars for it

I am still so overwhelmed and grateful for his thoughtfulness
this treasure is not just special 
It is a treasure of the heart
