Default Picked it up today

Didn't have my reading glasses with me when I first saw this last month and guessed on a few things. Assumed it was produced earlier as the other Boy's Bridage items in the collection were 1900-1930, but the plaques on the base point to winners in 1942, 1943 and 1945 with the first plaque being undated and smaller than the others (could it have been manufactured earlier than 1940's and not purchased or awarded until later?)

It is just over 14.25 inches tall with nice sliding player in bass relief. Reads "Boy's Brigade Baseball Trophy Sure & Steadfast Championship of Greater Vancouver Presented by The Royal Crown Soaps Limited Vancouver.

It has a couple of small dings but presents nicely. I assume that the value would trend downward with the new info but feel that I did OK at $200 CAD?

Thanks!
