Nice pair of vintage soccer award pieces commemorating the Brazil National Football Team's victories in the 1958 and 1962 FIFA World Cups.
The 1958 mini trophy features a flat metal sculpture with a re-creation of the famous Jules Rimet Trophy (used through 1970 as the official World Cup trophy) on the front. The back has the names of all the Brazilian players' names (including stars Pelé and Garrincha) plus the scores of Brazil's respective games during the 1958 tournament held in Sweden. The sculpture is mounted on a three-tiered wood base and stands just under 11 cm tall. Affixed to the base is a gold tone plaque listing the past World Cup champions and "VI Copa Do Mundo - Brasil - Campeão - Junho-1958." These were not souvenirs; they were issued only to staff members. EX-MT condition. A non-descript example like this one sold for over $1,300 pounds in 2017.
The small green and yellow charm features a raised gold depiction of the Jules Rimet Trophy on the front flanked by "BRA" and "ZIL". The back is engraved "Selecao de Ouro", "Bi Campea Mundial" and "1958-62". Brazil went back-to-back thanks in large part to Pelé. It has a loop and hook attachment. EX-MT condition.
Mini trophy comes with LOA from a Brazil National Team (CBF) coordinator.
