The Charles J. Glidden Touring Trophy (back)

While there isn't a "bad side" to the fabulous Glidden Trophy, according to my info, this is the back. Made of solid silver with a globe crafted of what appears to be porcelain enamel, it's held up rather well for it's age.

We should all look this good at 102! Time, however, has taken its toll on what many consider the ultimate prize of early motoring; other than the few expected nicks & dings, the little silver 1901 Napier auto that once sat atop the globe is gone. Maybe AAA just doesn't display it, or it went missing decades ago.

Can't blame 'em if it's the former; as the car in which Glidden and his wife Lucy traversed the globe, beginning in 1901...it's gotta be the most priceless toy car on the planet. Hotter 'n Hot Wheels!
