Miserly type maybe hoarding pounds in trophy (6)
I believe the answer is:
salver
'trophy' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salver that I've seen before include "Tray, could be silver" , "A large silver tray" , "A tray on which something is presented" , "A fancy metal tray" , "A handsome silver tray" .)
