purchased this fantastic piece 15-20 years ago (my apologies for the poor-quality images below but the digital camera took a crap and I instead had to scan the item).
5"x8" silverplated presentational loving cup made by Caldwell & Co. of Philadelphia.
on front (below the Philadelphia Athletics pennant): "Doc" Powers Day - Shibe Park - June 30th, 1910
back of cup is inscribed "Encircling The Bases - Second - James P. Austin - Time: 14 3/5 Seconds"
Note: there was also a "Doc Powers Day" postcard issued announcing this event - I've only seen it one time over the years, and have never had the good fortune to own one, but it would be a fantastic companion piece to go with this cup.
a link with details of the event (from the book "Harry Hooper: An American Baseball Life" By Paul J. Zingg) - including mention of the loving cups - can be found here:
