He loves them, and they are displayed with pride in his bedroom. One of them is for being so strong..."like a super hero". As the muscle posing above confirms.
Trophies from left to right show:
Parawai Tennis Club - Berridge Cup (Mixed Doubles) - C Davies - 1953-54.
Berridge Cup - C Davies - 1955-56.
The oldest cup (HB Motor Coy Cup) is dated 1939. Won by a Miss C E Ansel.
I wonder if Miss CE Ansel eventually became C Davies (Mrs) perhaps?
Sweet little pieces of history don't you think?
Found anything great lately? Pop over and share it with Max.
ahh, i love these, history etched right in to them; and mini trophies are just such lovely objects in their own right.

Lovely little trophies, I often wonder why no one in families want to keep such a personal memory. Your little fellow looks like he appreciates them anyway. Great book stack too!
ReplyDeleteOld trophies are such great quality.
ReplyDeleteA bit of Silvo polish and filled with roses they make for wonderful vases. x
