1934 American Legion Congressman James Wolfenden Team Championship Large Perpetual Trophy
James P. Wolfenden (1889-1949) of Pennsylvania was a member of the House of Representatives. 'Congressman James Wolfenden Trophy American Legion Eighth District Championship. Bernard F. Schlegel, Post No. 134: 1931, 1932 & 1933 in stacked lines. Sergeant Schlegler was a Purple Heart recipient who passed in WWI, with the American Legion Post 134 of West Chester, PA honoring him then and now nearly 100 years later. This perpetual trophy that was perhaps retired after the third straight victory of the Bernard F. Schlegel, Post No. 134 is elegant and stately, draped with turquoise adorned jewels on the top just below a stylized rim and laurels growing out from the narrowed bottom. Held up in design by two golf clubs on either side, this tall trophy with dual-sided engraving is perched atop the matte black finished plinth as to not take attention away from the winners' hardware itself. It is a towering 22" tall, with a 10" bottom diameter with the final photo next to a golf ball for size. Impressive by many accounts, this trophy will be a focal point of any golf display.
