The London Transport Swimming Ladies Free Style Championship cup.

Twin handled metal cup with associated wood and metal base. Cup; inscription on base of cup reads London Transport Swimming Ladies Free Style Championship. Cup silver marked. This is an interesting Arts & Crafts style trophy with a beaten silver finish. Stamp on underside reads Mappin & Webb, London. Base; black painted wood with metal band in middle listing winners. Plate on top surface reads ladies Free Style and label reads L.T.

The hallmark of 1905 suggests that this cup had an earlier use and was used in this form as a result of post Second World War shortages or to avoid purchase tax which was payable on new silver items at this time.
