Grey Flannel Pick-up/Trophy Question

Posted By: Aaron M.

Hey, guys, love the new forum!

I managed to win the 1916 Mercantile League Runner Up Trophy (Lot # 110) in last night's Grey Flannel auction and was wondering what some people thought about "re-silvering" vintage trophies?

I love the style of the trophy (seemed to me to be a much less expensive version of the 1911 New York Giants trophy that sold for something like $14,000 in an REA auction a couple years ago), but don't like the "patina". I have re-silvered a c. 1920's Reach trophy top before and been happy with the results, but it obviously doesn't have that true vintage look anymore.

Does anyone have any advice in this regard? I want it to look old, but not too old!
