Revere Silversmiths Sterling Silver Yachting Trophy Plate

This is a circular sterling silver presentation plate or trophy dish, manufactured by Revere Silversmiths Inc. and weighing approximately 60 grams. The plate features a wide, flat rim and a central depression where a commemorative engraving is located. At the center is a small, applied enameled burgee or pennant flag displaying horizontal blue and white stripes, representing the Larchmont Yacht Club. Below the enameled icon, the sterling silver is hand-engraved with the inscription: 'LARCHMONT YACHT CLUB / NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES / 5.5 METER CLASS / 9-16-57 / 1ST'. The fabrication indicates mid-20th-century craftsmanship, specifically dated 1957. The surface shows significant condition issues, including heavy tarnish, oxidation, and surface scratches consistent with its age. There are visible areas of 'fire scale' or dark pitting on the rim and several linear scratches across the center, likely from cleaning or handling. The reverse side, as noted in the provided context, is stamped 'REVERE SILVERSMITHS INC' and '901 STERLING'. This piece serves as a historical record of the 5.5 Meter Class sailing national championship, showcasing the intersection of sporting history and fine silver production.
