Description
Traditional small British silver plate round sporting Wiltshire Devizes Racing Pigeon Club trophy cup. Title embossed enscribed on the front "D. Pocock & Son Challenge Cup". Made from sillver plate. Highly sought after by collectors. Circa mid 20th century 1950s. A feature that stands out is the Art Deco influenced design shape, the pointy side handles along with the circular shape of this fascinating sport trophy which you will adore. Wiltshire Championship Club Rules: The Club shall be known as "The Wiltshire Championship Club". Membership of the Club shall be confined to members of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association and race in the Wiltshire & District South Road Federation. Headquarters of the Club shall be The Bell by the Green, Devizes. Pigeon racing is the sport of releasing specially trained homing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the bird's rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest speed. Pigeon racing requires a specific breed of pigeon bred for the sport, the Racing Homer. Competing pigeons are specially trained and conditioned for races that vary in distance from approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi). Despite these lengths, races can be won and lost by seconds, so many different timing and measuring devices have been developed. The traditional timing method involves rubber rings being placed into a specially designed clock, whereas a newer development uses Rfid tags to record arrival time. Provenance from a southern Shire private collection. We offer our clients exceptional professional customer service.
