Loving Cup from 1921 for the University of Wisconsin Football Team

Inscripted with

University of Wisconsin
Football Team
MOST USEFUL MAN
1921
Guy M. Sundt

Did a little research on Guy and he was a All Big Ten FB for Wisconsin in 1921 and honorable mention All- American. He later served on the coaching staff of the Basketball and Football teams, was the head coach of the Track team and was the Wisconsin athletic director for Wisconsin until his untimely death in 1955 from a Airplane Crash

Never seen a College Football trophy like this so early and still cannot find any info on it or anything similar. Hit a dead end. Too bad not an iowa trophy and the dreaded Badges but still pretty cool. Believe it to be the Team MVP trophy. Any help, additional info, or evidence of similar items from the time period are greatly appreciated

This is my most prized.

my favorite is my 1910 phila athletics world series cabinet photo with a letter from sid c keener director of the baseball HOF

My most cherished item is a jersey that my dad wore as a kid when he played for his "town team" in the late 1940's. That FRENCHVILLE jersey hangs proudly between my SI posters of Bill Mazeroski and Gene Alley in my man cave.
:D

Maybe the best baseball piece today.. haha

Jeremy....sweet piece!!

My April 1902 photo of Matty at the Polo Grounds

Awesome photo Greg!

Superb!!

Greg- that is an amazing photo. i can smell the grass, and hear the crack of the bat in the background...stunning.

Greg,
I love it ! Beautiful picture!

In the words of Jeff Spicoli "Awesome! Totally awesome!"

Chris,
Style points for the Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference!
One of my all time fave movies from the 1980's. You gotta love Spicoli, Mr. Hand and Judge Reinholdt's character... Classic!

I never really made it much past the Phoebe Cates scene coming out of the pool :D

Thanks all for the nice comments on the photo, but I have an equally nice one coming soon, will post when I receive it.

Since you brought that up, I think you owe us a photo.

Sorry

OK Here you go (seriously though, I don't want to post it until I have it in hand, but I assure you all it will be awesome!!)

Thanks, although I now think that I should have asked for a gif.

She certainly is one prized piece of memorabilia!

But is she trimmed?

I'll slab her either way.

Me too!!

I'll take her raw

I have something that I thought I would share - it was purchased from a relative of CHALMER CISSELL - this album came along with a team signed baseball from the white sox. I also got a game used hat of his when he played with cleveland - his suitcase - many on the field passes - a personal scrapbook of his life and career including charity events, box scores, babe ruth mentions, etc...it had a mini bat of babe ruth in the suitcase, some large media photos when he played with the hollywood stars amongst other info. If any of you do not know the story of CISSELL I challenge you to research him it is truly an interesting story how much Comiskey gave at the time for his rights (it was a league record) scotts had him pegged as the a cross between all the greats - from honus wagner to hornsby to whoever else.... he was in the MVP voting early in his career (after being shaky to start) but drank himself out of the league....and out of life....so poor at the end that Comiskey paid for his funeral....anyway there is some great stuff in his scrapbook too - and some of his quotes including how the burden Comiskey placed on him by paying the kings ransom for his rights was really the cause of his ruin - because he felt so much pressure to live up to it and said that since he was paid so much the White Sox never had a real chance to develop him but had to throw him in the fire from the start....

Anyway, the album that I included a few really crappy pics of has about 30 photos of the 31 white sox - these are all commissioned by Comiskey and done by George Burke whos studio stamp is on the back of the album. About 25 of the 30 photos are signed including the HOF's ......

Wow Bwild just WOW

......those fantastic Burke black and whites reminded me to dig out this :

....'' GEO. BURKE
847 BELMONT AVE.
CHICAGO '' stamped on the correspondence/address post card side sideways at the top right next to the '' AZO place stamp here '' box.

Beautiful Hank Greenberg, Mike!

Mike, mind if I ask the dimensions and to see a back scan of the postcard? I don't think I've seen that pose of Greenberg in a postcard format before, and would love to add the images/info to my Burke research material.

bwild22, WONDERFUL album. Wow! I would love to see all of the photos in it as well, but if too time-consuming, could you show the stamp on the back of the album as well? It's tough finding examples of Burke's stamping that can be tied to a specific date, and this one would be early in his career photographing ball players.

Those Burke postcards are making me drool.

....I've scanned it alongside a standard-sized postcard from that era to give you an idea of the dimensions : in this case the '' Orcajo Photo Art Dayton Ohio'' 1937-39 Cincinnati Reds set ; ( I used the Joltin' Joe because I love looking at it and am always trying to find an excuse to trot it out. )

...the heights are identical and the Burke Greenberg is perhaps maybe a hair narrower but only a hair .

.... I'm pretty sure Leon has one of these......won it on E-Bay two/three years ago

Somewhere along the way in over 30 years of collecting Cardinal stuff I ended up with this Burke of Lon Warnecke inscribed to fellow major leaguer Tot Presnell.
