This very early Victorian cycling trophy stands 185mm (7.25'') high x 95mm (3.75") across the rim and weighs 253 grams. It is marked around the base for antique nickel silver plate with the makers mark F.W.S in a shield and dates to the 1870's - 1880's. It is engraved to both sides with two gents riding standard penny farthing bicycles to one side and to the other two gents lined up for a race on much rarer penny farthing tricycles. As the close up shots show the quality of the engraving is exceptionally good with even the facial details clear as well as the bikes. It is in good honest antique condition with no restoration and some signs of use especially to the inside and a very usable or displayable trophy. A rare and early piece of cycling memorabilia featuring unusual penny farthing tricycles. International buyers are always welcome to this NO RESERVE auction. F.M.O.C.
