I think the Singerman Sandow maybe came from someone connected to the Weiders, probably Ben. At the time, the seller also had a Cyr Strongman trophy which was used during the Arnold Classic Strongman show. If they both came from the same consignee, then it would have to be someone important enough to get their hands on both a Sandow and a Arnold Strongman trophy.

Unless the same foundry or artist was used for both the Sandow and Arnold trophy, and they sold them off.

There's a lot of replicas around. Some of them actually trick people into paying big money for ones that are a complete phony.

I'm shocked you don't peddle them through your weak-ass online grocery store.

Even an acknowledged fake one would sell I bet. Heck get it autographed or blessed or a photo of it taken with a top pro and you could make some bank.
