DuPont Columbia Award

By sarahhelbling, 16 October, 2012
Description

A silver DuPont Columbia Award, marked "Richard Threlkeld for Status Reports on ABC World News Tonight".   It also bears an inscription of a quote from Edward R. Murrow, and, on the bottom, bears the markings "Sterling" and what appears to be "CWF" or "CWB".  I know Richard Threlkeld passed away recently on January 13 of this year, and I was wondering if this item has any value historically and monetarily.  Any advice/information is appreciated.

Thank you all very much for any help and suggestions!

Re: DuPont Columbia Award

I love to appraise antique silver. This piece certainly has value and the history is great. If you could send me some further photos of the piece, I'd love to discuss it. My email is [email protected].

 

Kind regards
