Sign In to see what this sold for

Billiard Congress of America Trophy won by Willie Mosconi, engraved: 'The Billiard Congress of America World Champion Pocket Billiards.' A second plaque says: 'Won by Willie Mosconi Navy Pier, Chicago, February 1950.' This impressive trophy stands 48 inches high, with three tiers consisting of wooden bases with four 15 inch gold-tone columns with silver eagles on top, a 36 inch gold-tone central column & a billiard player on top. The shellac on wood has worn through in places & the base above the lower plaque is loose, one pool cue ornament above lower plaque needs to be reattached. Mosconi defeated Irving Crane in the final match 150-112. An amazing piece of 20th century billiards history.
