Trophy
Was thrilled to be the winner of this 6 inch baseball trophy/globet. I believe it is circa 1880 or so as it was an award for Base Ball Throwing and not "Pitching" which I believe came about with the overhand type delivery beginning around 1885 or so. The New York Athletic Club was formed in 1868 and the N.Y. company that made this trophy started in business in 1875 and closed sometime in 1909. Thanks for any opinions if I might have the time frame wrong. Also, would be interested if anyone has seen others in the past with similar markings or any other info you might be able to add. Thanks.
