Author	Topic: Sterling bowl by William Waldo Dodge
asheland Posts: 935 Registered: Nov 2003	posted 12-28-2008 09:51 PM I wanted to share this bowl I got recently by William Waldo Dodge. It's a golf trophy and the engraving is quite nice. They sure used a lot of silver when making these pieces. I haven't weighed it, but it's quite heavy. The hammering is superb. IP: Logged

I have a Dodge bowl as well that is a trophy for the winner of the Maine chapter of the American Trapshooting Association's annual competition. I have seen at least one other ATA trophy bowl from Dodge, so he must have had a contract with them. IP: Logged
asheland Posts: 935 Registered: Nov 2003	posted 12-29-2008 11:02 PM Hi, thanks for your comments. I believe you are correct. The dealer I got this bowl from had a few others, and they were mostly Biltmore Forest Country Club although there was another trophy and it may be the place you mentioned. He did a lot for Biltmore Forest Country Club as his shop was located in Biltmore Forest. I hear that the building the shop was in is still there, but I am not sure exactly which one it is. I actually got this piece in downtown Asheville. IP: Logged
