Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2012: 'Simple Trophy' revisited.....now complete

Thanks to a swap meet, and the assistance of my local trophy engraver, I have my 'simple trophy'.

It uses part of a Model T, (which could still be returned to a car one day), yet wouldn't look out of place in any trophy cabinet. It was incredibly easy, and the neck and cap only set me back $10.

There is a brass plaque on the rear with previous winnner's names too.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I'll keep that in mind.

My wife just lost the filler neck on her 1923 Roadster as she was headed to our monthly breakfast meeting. This trophy would be PERFECT for her!

Looks great and it is exclusively associated with the Model T. Another good trophy idea would be to cut off an old front wheel extended threaded hub tube, affix it to a small stand, as above and screw on a nickel plated Ford Script hub cap. Jim Patrick

That was my second idea Jim.

neat way to store parts.
With Jim's idea you could buy new parts to finish off the used hub and it would be an easy and inexpensive trophy that would last forever.
There are several types of T hubcaps that could be used including the TT rear cap.
Could also put an oil filler cap on a short piece of pipe.
Some years ago our club gave everyone that entered the speedster run a trophy that was a new Boyce Motometer on a board. They are cheaper by the dozen.

That would look nice on a coffee table to serve nuts at a party... you can even replace the plaque with one which reads "Mixed Nuts". Then load it up with castellated nuts, jam nuts, axle nuts, what have you!

Just a little nutty, TH
