The central field has a continuous band with bearded Bacchic heads floating above a lion’s mask and pelt. The applied handles comprise gnarled twisted vine stems.

"Rare 1960s sterling silver 925 (204.3 g) commemorative horse shoe tray or ashtray, made by Bogaert's of Lexington. Reinzi, age 5, was the winner and earned 1st place on Oct 29, 1960 at The Narragansett Special in Narragansett Park Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Jockey Jimmy Combest, Trainer Barry Ryan and Owner J. Frederic Gagel. Measure: 5". The Narragansett Special was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Narragansett Park in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. At the time of its inaugural running in 1934, the Narragansett Special offered a purse of $25,000 added money making it the biggest race run at the track. Only Suffolk Downs' Massachusetts Handicap had a bigger purse in New England. Both rich contests drew the best talent that the nation had to offer.[1] Open to horses age three and older, the race was run over a distance of 1+3/16 miles (9.5 furlongs). The Special started at the top of the Narragansett stretch with a run of 3/16ths to the wire and then one full lap around the one mile dirt oval. Historical notes Across its history, the ""Special"" was run in late summer and fall, over fast and sloppy tracks, and even in the snow one year (Wise Margin – 1955). Time Supply, under jockey Tommy Luther, won the very first Special. A. A. Baroni's Top Row and Rosemont, for William duPont, won the next two editions. An instant success, the race continued to attract the top horses from across the United States. 1937 had Mrs. Ella K. Bryson's gelding Calumet Dick, with Hilton Dabson riding, captured the event. A former Calumet Farm runner that loved the mud, Calumet Dick upset Wheatley Stable's Snark and national superstar Seabiscuit. The 'Biscuit was made the betting favorite by his fans, but proved his dislike for ""off"" going and saw a seven race winning streak snapped when he finished third on the sloppy track under high-weight of 132 lbs.[2] Over the years, the race was won by racing stars such as future U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductees Challedon (won:1939 / inducted:1977) and Whirlaway (won:1942 / inducted:1959).[3] In 1941, Glen Riddle Farm's War Relic...
