Default c1910 Golf Trophy

Picked up this golf trophy last Sunday at the Alameda Point show...For as big as that show is I don't really find a whole lot there...stuff for my own collection that is...As I was walking the show a friend told me about it and that he almost bought it...Sounded pretty good the way he described the nymph handles and all....Half hour or so later I found it...had a pretty hefty price which was why it was still there...I see a lot of trophies but this one pushed my button because it's so ornate and because of its size 15 ˝” tall x 15” wide…has a presence to it...couldn't find a makers mark but looks like something Derby would have made...I'd guess it's about c1910-12...After I got home I did a completed search for "art nouveau” trophies but didn't see anything that even came close artistically...Plus I like the Seattle Police tie in...
