Nice antique silver plate loving cup trophy, dated 1919 and measuring just under 9 inches tall. Manufactured by Derby Silver Plate Co. and also marked "463". Engraved with "SWIMMING RELAY CHAMPIONSHIP N.C.S. of C.I.F. SPRING 1919" and also marked with the names of the boys in the winning relay, "CHRISTENSON DUSTIN MITCHEL NICHOLS PREVOST URE". NCS stands for Northern California Section and CIF stands for California Interscholastic Federation. My research shows that there were high scho...ol aged boys with those names living in Berkeley at the time, so most likely this was for a Berkeley High School relay team. Worn areas to silver plate, especially to handles and edges. Bottom of base is slightly bent out of shape. Otherwise solid and clean.
