Extremely rare 2/3 size replica of the America's Cup trophy. This beautiful recreation of "The Auld Mug" was once the possession of world renowned Corinthian yachtsman, Chandler Hovey. Hovey owned Cup yachts, raced Cup yachts and loved Cup yachts. He once owned the J Boats "Yankee" and later "Rainbow" and 12 meter yacht "Easterner". Yankee lost a notable race to RAinbow by one second and along with it a chance to defend the Cup. Many thought Yankee crossed the line first, the rest is history. Hovey never won the Cup but he was instrumental in many campaigns. The Cup is cast from pewter and is in it's original form without the extra bases added through the years. It has a warm patina and is in very good condition. It is believed that this Cup was presented to Hovey after the Cup races in 1934. 19" x 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" base diameter.
