A beautiful antique circa 1888 oak cup with applied metal rims, frame, and shield, engraved to read: 
R. M. A.
Sports
1888
C A Sykes

In great condition for its age, no breakage or damage to the wood, one small split to the frame on the inside near one handle. The brass frame was once silver plated but the plating has lots of thinning that gives it a brassy hue. Measures approximately 6 inches tall by 8 inches wide across the arms.
