[sizeHello

I know it's being a bit naughty advertsising on the main boards but this is so unusual that I thought your board members mike like to see it.

It's an original 1 pint mug from 1903 which was made to celebrate Halifax's "Double" winning side of the 1902-03 Season.

It's a stunning item beacuse it's so large and I've never seen a celebratory mug from this era[/size


[sizeAnyway, sorry if I've upset anyone by posting on here but it is very unusual and the only other one that exists' as far as I know. is in the Display Cabinet at Fax' ground

What a good thread this is for a change, brilliant reading.

I have since found out that `Don was an abreviation for Gordon but I still do not know if he was a relative of the 1902/3 double winning side.
We beat Salford at Leeds (no trips down to Wembley then) and the papers dubbed Halifax as the Newport of the North as in the year 1900 the Worlds Fair was held at Thrum Hall George Kitson ran in the 100yds and the tale handed down in the family was he won it. I will one day have to do some research to see if it was true we also have the newspaper report about the homecoming cavalcade where people alongside "collected money for the cash strapped club" well nothing much changes does it but that is the destiny of a Fax supporter I`m afraid but then do you value as much, anything that comes easy I don`t know?

No probs re telling you how much it makes .... just found out the auction is on 29th November

£75 ish for the Cup?

Aye, probably be about that. Though it is quite a one off.

Apparently the auction does free package and postage.
