VIRGINIA ASSOCIATED THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSE HOOF BOX, the hinged horn lid set with a silver plaque engraved "Rowton" in script, the front set with a small silver shield-form plaque having engraved initials "TV", iron horseshoe to base. The lid interior having a period note inscribed "This Box made from the Hoof of "Rowton." Trained by John Scott at Whitewall, Malton, and given by J. Scott to Mr. T. Vickers, Pigburn, near Doncaster. Winner of Doncaster St. Leger 1829." Mid 19th century. 2 1/4" H, 2 3/4" x 3 7/8".
Catalogue Note: Rowton (1826-1841) was a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the St. Leger Stakes in 1829. He was owned and bred by Edward Petre (1794-1848) and trained by John Scott (1794-1871). Rowton was retired from racing in 1833 and stood as a stallion in Britain. In 1835, he was sold to Merritt & Co. and exported to stand at Hicksford (now Emporium), Virginia, where he spent the remainder of his life. In death, Rowton was returned to Yorkshire, where one of his leg bones was made into the handle of a carving knife used by John Scott in his dining room at Malton and this box was given to his friend T. Vickers.
Excellent original condition, the front shield plaque is missing the upper left corner.
