For auctionis one of a pair of nearly identical large vintage golf trophies with a Weidlich Inc.Bridgeport, Conn. silverplate metal golf figure on an off white Dodge Plaskonbase. The base is 1950s to 1960s era and the silver golf figure is 1960s. The off-white trophy bases are usuallyPlaskon resin, a urea-formaldehyde polymer that has similar properties toBakelite. Trophy base does not have a plaque but any trophy store can make onefor your event if you need one. Fron...t of base is drilled with vintage pins screwed in to hold a plaque in place but trophy looks fine without one. The figure and base are in very good conditionwith no real noticeable scratches and scuffs and maybe some occasional patinaon the silverplate figures. Trophy is about 16” high. It is quite heavy andsolid and would make great desk or bookshelf art. If anyone asks you if you won it you can say“I won it on eBay.” I may unbolt thefigure for shipping so I can pack it properly but it is easy to reattach. Shipping by USPS Priority Mail with trackingin the U.S. is $20.00.
