<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 185843, member: 121&quot;]Okay, this is strictly a &quot;If you know anymore than I do, PLEASE tell me&quot; sort of question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I know:</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in oh, 1919 (?) after Admiral Dewey beat the hell out of the Spanish in Asia, he was a national hero. He was lauded everywhere and the country went wild giving him accolades and presentations. City after city invited him for ceremonies, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chicago ran a &quot;fund&quot; and collected 70,000 (silver) dimes from school children and had Gorham (?) melt them down and create the Dewey Cup as a presentation. Dewey in all of this self importance REFUSED to come to Chicago to accept it. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I can NOT find out is what happened to the cup? The Chicago history museum used to sell silver charms in the shape of the cup (I have a few dozen) but everyone&nbsp; I asked the question of told me they don&#039;t know. I have been able to glean the barest information from the inter-net, but still no resolution to its location. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any ideas???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
