In this photograph, from Ha'aretz 21/4/1939 p. 5, we see the winner of the Palestine masters' championship, Yosef Porat (then Heinz Foerder). He is holding the 'Maspero Cup,' a 'valuable silver cup donated by the Maspero corporation,' as noted in Ha'aretz on 17/3/1939, p. 6. Does anybody have a better-quality photograph?
Edited to add: a frequent contributor to this blog notes that the corporation, the Maspero Freres Ltd. cigarette corporation, also patronized other sports events, such as an archery, at that time. More on the corporation here (in Hebrew).
