A fine WWI-era sterling silver sports trophy, hallmarked London, 1913. Of traditional two-handled form, the body is professionally inscribed for the "News of the World Athletic Association." Produced on the eve of the Great War, this piece represents the peak of Fleet Street’s corporate sporting culture. Given the subsequent closure of the News of the World newspaper in 2011, this trophy serves as a significant piece of British media memorabilia.
Origin: London, UK
Material: .925 Sterling Silver
Year: 1913
Condition: Good; engraving is clear and historically significant.
Auctioneer's Note: Media-related silver is a growing niche. The association with such a famous (and infamous) publication makes this a standout lot for collectors of 20th-century social history.
