This is an incredible huge ornate silverplate trophy
from the 1913 Nebraska State Fair. Neat almost sculpture like form with
graduated base and wide bowl top makes for an eye catching
presentation. Triple handle design with each adorned on top in a winged
tire motif. There is a large graphic engraving on the front which
includes the line “Grand Champion Pair of Pigs Under Six Months of Age”.
Stamped on the base Wallace Brothers which was a well known quality
manufacturer of silverplate items.
Measures 14.25 inches high, 15
inches wide handle to handle and 15 inches deep. Nice heavy weight to
it at 9 pounds! Good condition with darker aged patina, light
dents/scratches. One of the wings is missing to the back handle. One of
the wings has detached from the left front handle, it will be included
and could be re-soldered in place. Overall, nothing that diminishes the
substantial presentation. Please review the photos for further
assessment.
An amazing unique display piece for home or business.
