Favorite memorabilia pickup of 2010
One of the board members was nice enough to sell me a 1924 D&M Catcher figural trophy earlier in the year. The trophy had originally been purchased from the National Pastime in Cooperstown, NY. Shortly after I received the trophy, I decided to have a master silversmith restore it to its original condition.
Here are a few before and after photos. It now proudly sits in a period mahagony display case. Somewhere in it's history, an owner glued the trophy lid to the loving cup. When the restored trophy came back from the master silversmith, I was thrilled to see that there was actually two pieces to the trophy.
Thanks,
Patrick
