Presented to the winner of the prestigious Challenge Belt. In deeply etched glass, one side features period pugilism, the other shows the championship belt. Heavy, early, wonderful glass with unmistakable Pontil mark on the bottom proving it is hand blown. Reads "National Sporting Club Bantamweight Championship Challenge Belt." Stands 7" tall and is inscribed with "LB" and "RNMR." The "LB" may stand for Lonsdale Belt. The rest we can only guess is the initials of the fighter.
