DESCRIPTION & CONDITION

Up for your consideration is a 1959 chess trophy in great vintage condition without any damage. 

This rare 6" vintage chess trophy made of metal on wood appears to be silver-plated or zinc with heavy age related tarnishing and sitting on a solid wood base. There are no obvious makers marks present that I can see to help identify its maker or if in-fact it's sterling silver. 

It is marked on the front with the letters "SPF" ( not necessarily in that order) badge and with a silver-plate badge with the words Escacs 1959. Escacs is Catalan (Spanish) for "Two Player Board Game", in this case chess. On the bottom the name "Tony" and a date is etched on. 

This trophy is assumed to be a school chess club award or possibly a regional competition award but I haven't been able to connect the dots on the three letters and its origin.

This vintage piece  is in very good to near excellent condition for its age.  There is typical age and handling related, very small blemishes (scuff marks) on the wood base that are hardly noticeable.  That said, they are there and they are really no big deal. 

As is , this very charming and RARE small trophy will make a very nice addition to any chess club or personal trophy collection.  

 Please look over photos carefully as they are part of description and ask questions before bidding.
