Default July Sacramento Antiques Fair



Here's my haul from yesterday at the Sacramento Antiques Fair...the wrestling trophy was the main find...1940 is pretty late for my collection...but it was only the second figural wrestling trophy I've ever seen if I recall...besides the other one I have...which is a c1930 drop dead bronze by a big name sculptor...beyond rare...awarded to a Williams College graduate...story for another time...The Vitalis is for a friend and the map I'll probably put on ebay...can't find another example...it was a mail in premium...The wrestling trophy was awarded to the Fry Institute team of Chattanooga...An interesting organization...not a school...but sort of a YMCA type endeavor...no longer around...I found some photos on line of their weightlifters club...I made fast work of the fair, gone by 7:45 to a motorcycle swap meet on the other side of town....zeroed out though...
