Vtg 1928 PICNIC SWIMMING RACE TROPHY DAILY PROVINCE VANCOUVER Silver Loving Cup

Description

Nice smaller sized 1928 "The Daily Province" Picnic Swimming Race, WM Rogers silver plated trophy.
When researching this trophy, I keep being led back to The Daily Province newspaper from Vancouver BC, in Canada. And with a little bit more digging, I found that they did indeed have an annual picnic in Vancouver during this time frame.
I am assuming that this trophy may have been given out as a promo prize from The Daily Province newspaper, in Vancouver, who may have been a sponsor of the annual picnic.
This trophy was found south of the Canadian border, here in Seattle WA.
I haven't done much more extensive research, and I will leave that up to you the buyer.
This piece takes a footprint of 6" tall x 3" diameter at the base.
Overall nice vintage condition with maybe a couple of really small little dings on the backside, which are really only seen when the light hits it right. Other very minor age appropriate wear might have the slight possibility of being found.
Please view all of the photos carefully as they are part of the description,
And ask any questions you have before buying.

DISCLAIMER:
(I shouldn't have to do this, nor do I want to, but recently I have been caught up with a couple buyers abusing the eBay return system. Hopefully I can take this disclaimer down soon!!)
Please note - There are
NO RETURNS
unless there is a unique circumstance arranged between myself the seller, and you the buyer. Between my photos, description, and your option to ask questions beforehand, there should be no discrepancy whatsoever in what it is that you are receiving. And I think you will sometimes find my pieces to be even better in person once you receive them! Check my feedback!!
By bidding/winning an auction, or purchasing a piece BIN, you are committing to buying and accepting this piece as is!! Please do no ruin auctions for others, or take away other potential buyers chances to buy a piece they may want. It's a giant waste of time for everyone involved. So please make sure you are serious when bidding!!
Can you go back to your local auction house and return pieces for a full refund after bidding everyone else out, winning, paying, and taking the piece home?? Or can you go into your local antique store and demand a full refund after holding onto it or using it for 30 days?? The same normal everyday rational rules of human engagement apply here!!
Treasure hunting for you is how I pay the bills. It takes quite a bit of time to sell each piece from beginning to end; Searching for, procuring it, cleaning it up, researching, photography, all the middle parts you see when you are on eBay looking, then high quality thoughtful packing, shipping, etc.
I am running a very small honest business, not an Amazon or Walmart. Most of my pieces are vintage or antique, and sometimes have the possibility of showing a little bit of character. I will always do my very best to disclose everything to my full ability.
Ask me anything you want!! I am easy to work with and here for you!!
