An extraordinary English silver-plated trophy honoring generations of Great Dane champions. Engraved "Gaymiles Memorial Trophy" and presented in memory of Colrosings Black Empress-Sue in 1971, this substantial trophy chronicles more than two decades of winning dogs and breeders. After researching the piece, I was able to connect it to the British Great Dane community, adding another layer of history to an already striking display piece.

Why I Love It
A beautifully engraved memorial trophy celebrating the history of Great Danes in the United Kingdom.
Presented in memory of Colrosings Black Empress-Sue beginning in 1971.
Engraved with over twenty years of champion dogs, including memorable names like Zarlinda Venus, Maxwell of Gaymiles, Beechfields Jingle, Endroma Black Magic, and Doveport Easter Bonnet at Denian.
I researched the trophy and was able to connect it with longtime members of the British Great Dane community, helping preserve the story behind this remarkable piece.
The generous size, classic trophy form, and decades of hand engraving make it a true conversation piece.
Beautiful displayed on a bookshelf, library table, or cabinet, whether you're a dog lover, trophy collector, or simply appreciate objects with rich history.
An exceptional decorative piece that blends English sporting history, canine history, and timeless silver.
Condition
Vintage condition with age-appropriate wear and patina consistent with decades of presentation and display.
One visible scratch near the second row of engraved dog names that can be seen in certain lighting.
