and the trophy is for......... what?

i bought this little trophy awhile ago at a local estate sale,

but i never did read

what's engraved on it until today.

and it was amusing to find out that this trophy

was presented by g. wadsworth

for.....

the best collection

of columbian wyandottes.

what are columbian wyandottes?

they are a breed of chicken

named after the 1893 columbian exhibition

held in chicago,

well, what do you know???!!!!

and if you had the "best collection" of them

you would certainly deserve a trophy for it.

yikes! another thing to collect.

but, for now

the trophy is available

at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

..... and the trophy has left the building.
