Up for sale is a vintage 42" Plymouth Chicagoland Model Airplane Contest Highpoint Champion Trophy. This is one of the biggest trophies I think I've ever seen. The metal topper measures 12" I will be able to remove this foe shipping. This thing was made when they use to build quality trophies. It weighs 40lbs, bottom base measures 18" wide. Has 4 metal toppers of boys holding model airplanes and 4 eagle toppers above, plus the main 12" eagle topper. It stands 30" tall when the top eagle is removed.

Generally referred to as the Plymouth Internats, the contest, which had a limited international scope, was an invitation-only contest for young aeromodelers. Pilots earned their invitations by performing well in competitions sponsored by their local Plymouth dealerships. I believe this contest was held from 1948 to 1952 This trophy dates in one of those contests from the late 40s or early 50s.

Local pick-up would be much appreciate abd certainly save you on shipping. Not really sure where to price this. I added a picture of my cat by the trophy so you can get an idea of just how massive this trophy is.
