A.

Lord Kinnaird by The Football Association for services to the game on his 21st Anniversary as President of The Football Association, thence by family descent until sold at Christie's, lot 100, 19th May 2005 for £478,400, including Buyers Premium.Private UK Collection Exhibited: The National Football Museum, Preston and now Manchester from 2005 until June 2020The first F. A. Cup used between 1872 and 1895 was stolen from the Birmingham football outfitter William Shillcock's window on 11th September 1895 when it was on display after Aston Villa had won it that year. A £10 reward was offered for the recovery of the cup but sadly the trophy was never seen again. In 1958 an 80-year old Harry Burge came forward and said he had stolen it to make counterfeit half-crown coins and in 1975 Joseph Piecewright was implicated in the original theft but neither of these claims have been substantiated. As current holders of the trophy and therefore custodians of it Aston Villa FC were fined £25 for the loss of the trophy. In 1953, 90 years after the formation of The Football Association, Geoffrey Green wrote his seminal work 'The History of The Football Association' and page 173 notes that '......and at a Council meeting on January 22nd, 1896, it was proposed by A. Sharman that the new Cup to be purchased for competition in place of the old one lost, should be of gold, the cost not to exceed £200. The proposal was lost, and a resolution put forward by R. P. Gregson, seconded by Dr. Morley 'that a cup as nearly as possible like the old cup should be purchased' was carried. Thus another trophy, costing £25 and of twin design to the original, was set upon its high pedestal'. Fortunately, a cast of 'the old cup' existed and Vaughton & Sons of Birmingham were commissioned to produce an exact replica of it at the cost of £25. This is the cup offered here for sale. It bears the winners' names from 1872 onwards including Wanderers who won five of the first seven finals including three in a row (they were then presented with the trophy in perpetuity only to apply the true 'Corinthian' spirit of the amateur game at the time and return it to The Football Association – ironically, they never won it again!), Oxford University, Royal Engineers, Old Etonians, Clapham Rovers (who were strong in both codes of football – association football and rugby union) and Old Carthusians. In 1883 Blackburn Olympic won the 'the little tin idol' and the game of Association Football changed forever. The domination of the former pupil's public-school teams had come to an end and the North of England and Midlands teams began a new era in the game.The present cup offered for sale was contested for on 15 occasions before being retired and subsequently presented to The Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird in 1911. First time winners of this actual trophy include Manchester City, Manchester United, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur to name but a few.
