Do you recognize the sponsor name Sharp & Dohme? They were a pharmaceutical company founded in 1891 in New York. Today they are better known as Merck & Company. The two companies merged in 1953 forming one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
The tall narrow shape and long extended handles add to the dramatic appearance of the trophy. It’s mounted on a large black bakelight base, adding even more height. All the elaborate antique engraving is beautifully done with curved text and flourishes.
With its larger size, this Antique Loving Cup Trophy 1937 presents well and would look great in any trophy collection. Do you need more than one?
