History
This trophy has the date of 1887. It has the artist name stamped and also the Champion Blemton Victor II Has also a number that tells what breed of dog that number is 17919. Has some missing pieces . Made into a lamp not sure if it was that way or made later. I think this is from the first dog show hosted by the AKC.
