RARE 1908 COMMEMORATIVE VANDERBILT CUP SILVER-PLATED TROPHY CUP, chalice-form well with a gold-washed interior raised on a pedestal foot, lettered "VANDERBILT CUP / WON BY / LOCOMOBILE CO. / 1908" with the other side having an image of an early vehicle with driver. Impressed with "FORBES SILVER CO. U.S.A. / QUADRUPLE / 1048" mark to base. 1909. 4" HOA, 2 1/2" D base.
Catalogue Note: The 1908 win by 23-year-old driver George Robinson and mechanic Glenn Ethridge marked the first time an American-built vehicle won the prestigious Vanderbilt Cup. "Old 16" made by the Locomobile Company won the Long Island, New York race with another Locomobile car coming in third place. "Old 16" is now in the permanent collection of the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI.
The Locomobile Company originally commissioned these commemorative trophies in November 1908 for their Locomobile Victory banquet hosted at the Stratfield Hotel in Bridgeport, Connecticut. With ticket prices to attend at $5 (the equivalent of around $100 today), the event was very exclusive. Shortly after the event the company produced a retail-version of these trophies available in two versions either with or without the radiator cap.
Good overall condition with some minor to moderate denting to the top rim and bottom edge; minor surface wear.
The estate collection of Dennis Trischler, Woodbridge, VA.
