I am answering myself here...have I gone mad? No, not yet, but there is this in Letters:
Quote:
Letter 202
11 September 1957
It may amuse you to hear that (unsolicited) I suddenly found myself the winner of the International Fantasy Award, presented (as it says) 'as a fitting climax to the Fifteenth World Science Fiction Convention'. ...the handing over of an absurd trophy. A massive metal 'model' of an upended Space-rocket (combined witha Ronson lighter).

I must say, that trophy sounds rather good, especially having a lighter built into it. And thanks are due to davem for this as he found the quote.
