Thanks for sharing pics of the trophy, Carlton. Very cool piece.

I wonder if this was a traveling trophy? The auction description says it's circa 1938, but the side panel shows the winners of the 1938, '39 and '40 competition, as well as 1956 and '60. Interesting that Hawaii is listed as the winner in 1960 - they were already a U.S. state by then (1959 I think?).

If you're there, check out the 1915 Boston Red Sox panorama with Ruth at Memory Lane. I'm not a money person and often enjoy most the little, inexpensive curiosities that might have been found at a flea sale, but that's a big ticket item that definitely caught my eye. It's not for sale, but I guessed the value and it was nearly the same as their estimate. For the record, the two people at their booth with whom I chatted about the photo were very friendly to me.

Carlton - If you decide to bid on it, I hope you win it. It would fit nicely in your collection !!!
