FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE...

 
Found in an estate liquidation on Madeira Island Portugal. 

Vintage silver trophy that was awarded as the first place award for a 60 Mile race.  No one in the estate could identify the exact sport, however, cycling seems to be the most logical.

A loving cup is mounted on a wooden pedestal.  The plaque reads, "S. I. M., 1st Primo, 60 Miles, 3-6-61". 

Both the presentation plaque and the loving cup are hallmarked.  
Portuguese silver has a purity of 870.

The overall height, including the mount is 7 inches.

It has survived in good order.   Previously displayed, no dents, damaging scratches, breaks in the wood or loose components detected.


I inserted a standard size playing card in one photo as a reference for size.
