Help requested - fair value for this baseball trophy

Due to the lower plaques on the base I would add another $100 to 200 to Joes estimate. Nice trophy

Thanks Jim!

I might go even a little higher. The trophy appears to be in great condition. Getting very tough to find these without dings, debts and significant tarnishing.

And the sliding player image is pretty fantastic. Really well executed and seldom-seen. I could easily see this one going in the $550 -$650 range.

Great post!

Thanks Mark. Seller mentioned that he would call me on Sunday if he wanted to sell. Haven't heard. . Don't have his #.

I've never, ever considered collecting trophies. But that one is a beauty and I've seen others in collection display threads. They are pretty damn cool. Would probably pick one up now if I found a deal.

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!

You did fine at that price ! It's a great looking trophy and yes , that was made before 1945 even though the presentation didn't happen until later
