The trophy references "West End Club", I am of the belief that this trophy is baseball related. Based on the estate, my "guesstimate" (educated guess) is that the trophy is related to the extensive baseball history of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The amateur West End Club of Milwaukee was formed in 1875 and became semi-professional in 1876. For the 1877 season the West End Club became fully professional joining the League Alliance. The West End Club was also referred to the Milwaukee West Ends. The nomenclature fits. The dating seems to be off unless the two names continued on in the amateur/semi-professional world after the professional team adapted the name Milwaukee Grays a.k.a. Brewers when they joined the National League. The Grays, Brewers had a short existence when it finished last in the 1878 National League and was expelled from the National League for some unpaid claims.
The trophy is approximately 4½" in diameter at the base x 9¾" tall. The trophy is inscribed "West End Club City League Champions 1928." Also inscribed along ther back of the base is "Goldsmith Trophy" which most likely is the name of the trophy maker.
The trophy is in good to very good condition.
