French Vintage Trophy Agriculture Award Plaque 1968 Prize 1006266

French Award Plaque

Dating from 1968, this French award plaque commemorates a regional agricultural competition held in Orbec, Normandy. The French award plaque recognizes second place achievements in a cattle competition, specifically for four-tooth bulls, reflecting the agricultural traditions of this Norman market town.

Cast from aluminum with a verdigris green finish, the plaque displays raised lettering reading "Concours-Foire 1968 Orbec - Boeufs de 4 Dents 2e Prix" (Fair Competition 1968 Orbec - Four-Tooth Bulls Second Prize). The oval form features decorative floral motifs in the corners and an attachment ring at the top. The patinated surface shows age-appropriate wear consistent with its vintage, with some areas of natural oxidation visible on the bronze-toned raised elements.

The plaque measures approximately 22cm x 14cm / 8.7" x 5.5", making it a substantial display piece. The aluminum construction ensures durability while maintaining the period aesthetic typical of mid-20th century agricultural awards. Orbec, located in the Calvados department, remains an important center for Norman cattle breeding.

This agricultural trophy would appeal to collectors of French rural memorabilia, Norman regional items, or vintage award pieces. The specific reference to cattle judging makes it particularly relevant for those interested in livestock history or agricultural heritage.
