MARK OF J.E. CALDWELL & CO., PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, CIRCA 1910

Eddie Plank (1875-1926) led the Philadelphia Athletics to five American League titles, and a trio of World Series Championships in 1910, 1911, and 1913, establishing the team as one of the first sporting "Dynasties" of the 20th Century. He anchored the A's pitching staff for nearly a decade and half winning over 280 games as a member of the team, and would retire with 326 wins in total, the third most of all-time among left handed pitchers. The cup offered here is one of only a select few items related to this important team to have surfaced, and is far and away the best having been given to this lauded member of the Hall of Fame.
