Having a new roof put on and I found an old metal box in the loft with Capt. Ford on the side, anyways inside the box there are two goblets and a silver cup. The two goblets don't appear to be silver and both have inscriptions...

 

1) Public Schools Rackets Championship, 1925, Winners Harrow, N.M. Ford & A.C. Raphael

2) Summer Fields, R.L.Ford, Senior 100 Yards Swimming 1921

 

The silver cup has the following inscription Lionello Ford, Amici Sex, Etonenses (no date).

 

Done a bit of research and Lionello "Very Rev Lionel Ford" was the Dean of York and Headmaster at Repton and Harrow and father of Sir Edward Ford. N.M. "Neville" Ford is Lionel's son and Bear Grylls' grandfather (bought the house of him)..

 

Could they be worth anything?
