Bonhams are auctioning the 2nd FA Cup trophy and it is expected to fetch between £700,000 - £900,000
Until recently it was on display in Manchester at the Urbis Football Museum, this is the trophy that City won in 1904 and was used between 1896 and 1910.
It replaced the original trophy that was stolen from a shop window where it was on display in Birmingham after Aston Villa won it in 1895.
In 1911 the third - and current - FA Cup was presented to the winners - the change being made as the FA realised they had not patented the design of the 2nd trophy
