Description |
A silver plated saucer that was given as a 1st place or overall winner prize at the Woodward & Lothrop Pet Show in 1952. In the inside bottom the inscription reads "W & L / Pet Show / 1952." On the back a small maker's mark features a small elephant and "Reed & Barton / 1201 / A." A small newspaper clipping from the Sunday Post on September 27, 1952 accompanies the saucer. It has a picture of a rabbit and a dog, and reads: "A Couple of Bad Losers 'Confidentially I think the judges are crazy,' the rabbit seems to be saying to the dachshund as the two hang their heads yesterday after being defeated in a pet show at the Woodward & Lothrop parking lot, Bethesda. The hare belongs to Marilyn Barrow, the dog to Jane Lowry." Donated by Lyn Sutherland. |
