Hello Doug,

I am hoping you may be able to point me to someone/somewhere that I can find out about the history of this trophy won by my Grandfather, Jack/John Dexter 1908-1988.

I understand the runabout was home built.

The teapot is part of a set containing at least an additional milk jug and sugar jug.

My Grandfather’s father was Reuben Arthur Dexter of Dexter & Crozier (imported racing bikes & cars), and Walsh Bros & Dexter (flying school).

Many thanks in advance

Julie Boyd
