Default W.B. Jarvis Company

Acorrding to the power point presentation linked above by Ralph J. Christian,
"The Making of a Millionaire: Ty “Brains” Cobb and the Entrepreneurial Spirit"
Cobb was part owner of the W.B. Jarvis Company from 1912-1914.

Based on the blotchy finish, initially I thought it looked fake as I've seen new "vintage" fatigued trophies that looked similiar...Not a very clear photo...almost looks like Mao Tse-tung...however, there was a similiar trophy in Hunt's see below.
