Trophy
Trophy that has been passed down in my family. What I know is my great uncle married into a family in Paris Kentucky that were close to the Clay family in Paris. The Clay family (same family as Henry Clay) were founders/ owners of Bourbon County Gun Club. Somewhere I have seen documents showing big time shooters of the day shot there including Mrs Ann Oakley.
Not entirely sure how my Great Uncle Fielding ended up with it. Know he was a big bird hunter but never knew of him shooting targets. I am blessed to have a GH Parker and Quality 4 LC Smith that he owned.
Any knowledge of either of these old clubs would be appreciated.
This would be in early 1900’s.
My grandmother decided it would make a nice lamp.
