(Not So) Vintage Trophies

I’ve always loved the look of using vintage trophies as accessories.  But, every time I’ve thought about starting a collection, my hopes have been dashed by the price tags I see on them in thrift stores and even at flea markets.

In case any of you have thought about starting a collection of your own, I saw these on One Kings Lane earlier today, and at $15 to $19 each, the prices are a lot more reasonable than the real vintage ones I’ve seen around.
