Civil War era BOWLING PIN TROPHY quadruple plate SILVER
This auction is for a beautiful Civil War era BOWLING TROPHY with a beautifully detailed floral scene etched on it. It is in EXCELLENT CONDITION! and is maker-marked THE AMERICAN S.P Co. It also reads QUADRUPLE PLATE, ROCHESTER, N.Y. It is made of hard white metal with a QUADRUPLE PLATE silver finish. Its stands 7 1/2" tall on a 3 1/2" pedestal base. Quadraplate was made from the 1850's - 1890's. Those of you who follow our auctions know we specialize in quadrupleplate, well...this is a VERY RARE PIECE! It's also THE MOST UNIQUE PIECE WE'VE EVER OFFERED!!! We do not know for sure if this particular trophy was given during the War; however, we have owned other quadraplate patent dated on the bottom as early as the 1850's so it could be 1860's. This piece is in untouched attic condition. It will shine up if the new owner wishes to do so. We have been saving piece just so you could have the PERFECT FATHER'S DAY GIFT!!!
