Harvard pewter football trophy mug, Class Championship, 1889, belonging to Thomas William Slocum, class of 1890. Slocum was the captain of the 1890 class eleven team for four years. The class championship was won when 92' beat 93', 90' beat 91' and 90' beat 92' in 1889. There was no series in 1886 or 1888, and in 1887 no championship was awarded since all the games were not played "as weather was too cold". Slocum was also the treasurer of the HUFBA (Harvard University Foot Ball Association) 1888 - 1889.
You could call it the "Slocum Pewter"
ReplyDeleteSome folks like me, who have Windows operating systems, call their tabletop a slocum pewter.
