The only negative I can find is a small indentation of the vertical portion of the base on which it stands at about two oclock if you are looking at the trophy from the front.  It cannot be seen unless you turn it and it took quite a while before I even noticed it.  I did nothing to the piece.  I will let you polish it if you like.  A very solid, strong cup over a wonderful base. It weighs just a little over two pounds. This would have to be hit with some force to dent it in my opinion.  Again, my opinion of it is just that but you cannot help but like this piece.  The inscription says, "Presented by the Draper-Maynard Co., Hopkins A & L Club, Champions of Jewish Educational Alliance, Senior Baseball League, 1911" with the great big D&M logo.   I am beginning to sell after a long time collecting and have paid and communicated promptly so lets do the same.  This item will be non-returnable because it will be packed extremely well and carefully for you.  I cannot imagine you not liking this piece.  Shipping costs to be determined but I do not expect them to be more than $25.00 including insurance and I will ship as quicky as possible after payment.   Should the cost be more I will cover the overage.  If you have interest or questions, you may call 216-577-7805 and ask for Ted.  PayPal please and keep looking as I will continual add items this winter.  Thank you.

Thanks to him for the information. Place a Bid!
