Total 14" high x 6" wide. Not engraved. Silver plated figures sculpted by "S. Morani". The "Archives of American Art" lists a "Salvatore Morani, b. 1879 d. 1964. Sculptor Philadelphia, Pa". He no doubt is our man. He would have been 51 years old when this trophy was produced, most likely by either the WEIDLICH BROS. or JENNINGS BROS. both of Bridgeport, CT. The painted iron pedestal has a washer marked "HERFF JONES Co. Indianapolis". The silver plating has losses which isn't too obvious due to the white metal underneath. The base's paint is flaking here and there which I decided to leave alone rather than apply a new coat of paint. My photos emphasize these flaws, the trophy looks great when in hand. A hard to find figural trophy that displays extremely well......Please click "Larger Views" for closer inspection.
