Agrilcurtural award cup from Ray County, Missouri, circa 1850.
975.00
3 5/8 inches
tall, heavy,
and in good condition, with only a few shallow bumps. Made by R&W Wilson of
Philadelphia, it seems that the agricultural society in Ray Co. ordered a
number of these cups as awards for their county fair. I have seen at least
one other Wilson cup so marked for this organization. Fair awards are
scarce and desirable, and are an interesting collecting field. A nice piece
of Missouri history.
