Nice bike but I think thats a Elgin ?

I've been looking for one of these cabinets for a long time. Found this one at an auto swap meet this weekend.

Spent more for this than I did on the bike.....

They weren't on the cheap within minutes of an estate sale opening, but I couldn't walk away from these 1930's Seven Dwarfs about 6-7 inches high of poured latex...not an easy find all together and made by Sieberling (and I have a tricycle made by them as well).
At the flea market I score this solid silver plate/trophy circa 1935 from the Women's Western Golf Association's Open Tournament...which is not just a tournament, but THE tournament that the LPGA recognizes as the only "Major" before they formed.
Not sure if it is a winners or placement piece, perhaps a souvenier, but regardless I collect sporting goods and trophies, so it's a great addition to my other collection.
I bought it for $5 and when I asked the seller about it, he responded he "hadn't really looked at it and that another guy almost bought it, but his wife pulled him away."
Fortunately for me, I was flying solo and happened to pick it up among hundreds of silver plated items you see at every sale.
At 26 ounces, it's around $500 in net weight alone!

Chris,
As you may already know the silverplate tray/trophy was made by E.G. Webster & Sons. The bulk of the weight of this piece is comprised of copper--not silver. The actual silver value on this piece would be nominal. Am I missing something? V/r Shawn

I am not familiar with the silver trade...my research came up with a traditional English hallmark systems of the lion for purity, and the other two for region and manufacturer. Also in looking at the scratches, the period, it doesn't attract a magnet, and of course with it being possibly a trophy of the most prestigious ladies golf tournament of the time.
Bummer it's not real silver, but I wasn't going to trade it for cash weight anyway, it'll display with my others.
Now you'll tell me my awesome early eagle cookie tin is really just a buzzard...what person would want a reviled creature to eat?

I also picked up this solid oak carved Freemason sculpture, and he's over 3 feet tall.
I figured I could put this "dude" in my garage shop in the future.

Looks a little too serious--needs a spliff hanging from the corner of his mouth!
