Did not attend event, but took home the Silver Cup!

I stumbled accross this 1941 silver bowl tucked away amongst some 1950's trophies. Initially, I was interested in buying the 2 box lot of trophies just to resell the Art Deco-ish winged goddess figurines. This bowl was attached to a base so I could not immediatley verify that it was sterling. This was a family-run estate sale and the items were reasonbly priced at $10 per box. At home I removed the bowl from the onyx style base and there was the maker's mark and hallmarks. It weighed in at 11.5 Troy ounces - no weighting....... Some days it is great to be a picker.

Killer find. Montana is a good place to hunt for treasures. I've found some good stuff up there in my travels.

Nice! If those Winged Victory figurines were made of good quality material, I probably would have taken a chance on them as well. Judging by the date on the silver bowl, it is likely the items were all pre-WWII. Most things were made of high quality materials back then. Besides, I love the Art Deco style.
