This is a brown trophy mug, with the inscription CANADA LSP on the bottom. The front has two plaques, one says Molson Award with the Molson’s logo, the second is engraved metal that says East London Slo Pitch 81 Export Champ. I’ve asked a few collectors about this mug, and we all agree it is likely Laurentian Pottery. I’m not terribly sure what the S could stand for, but more research is being done.
These mugs appear frequently at thrift shops, and one could get a whole series of years and sports if so inclined.
Will
His dad built a shelf for it in the den. A solid plank of dark stained wood Will would never remember the name of. After dozens of other failures – the car fiasco, golf, hunting – he’d done something worth his own space in his father’s hall of masculinity.
Three years later, after the accident, he toasted the man from this lone trophy. He took it back to Toronto with him when his mother sold the house. Standing in his apartment he knew the exact spot he would build the shelf for both of them, from smooth, dark wood.
