Nice
Casey, Looks like a real nice trophy...I'd like to see some photos of it from mid side view as opposed to looking down on it...say three shots of three sides of it...and if you could advise the width of the ball...
But based on the photos you have up...looks like a real nice pick up...As vintage/antique bowling trophies go it looks like an exceptionally good one...has a nice ornate base....and the best part is the engraving job...they did a great job on that....the name WAR HORSES is way cool...seems like I saw that one or one like it recently on eBay...
About a year ago I forwarded a bowling trophy to a friend of mine who buys a lot of trophies on eBay...He wrote back the following that explains it pretty good... "I've been watching. I have a number of bowling trophies. They are hard to sell once you get them. They have to be pretty special. Jim"
I'd say your bowling trophy falls in the "pretty special" category...Actually I'm surprised it's gotten as much attention as it has...Not long ago I posted a 1914 bowling trophy plaque here that I thought was pretty special and it didn't get one comment...so you're doing pretty good!
As for value...I think vintagesportscollector was about spot on with the $250.00...maybe $350...but that all depends on where you were selling it...at the National probably $350.00...at a good flea market you'd probably be lucky to get $250.00...Tip for selling on line...post good clear large photos and lots of them...
Congrats on a real nice pick up!!!
