I am certain there not a North Perth Football Club.
Are you sure those initials are football related?

North Perth so close to West Perth, could have been an amateur side back in the day and probably a junior football club. Maybe Joondy can take it up, would make more sense than West Perth.

I thought same WAG. A guy had it up on eBay. It is a little Sheridan badge and of course they made a lot of footy badges. It also has ‘Norths’ on it.

Not soccer as features footy going through the goals,

Anyone?

Oh ok I didn't realise.
Fairly certain Sheridans make badges and/or engrave them. I think they are a good ol' West Aussie company too?
Maybe you could grab the phone book and give them a ring to enquire about said badge. Their being a chance they may have some records or info about it.
Just a thought.

There was a North Perth football team that played in the Sunday National FL from 1955-62. They were originally known as Wesfarmers, who were one of the founding teams when the league was formed in 1949 as the Mercantile FL.
When they first changed the name, the club was going to be known as Southern Districts. This was ratified at a meeting of the SNFL on Match 1, 1955. A month later, Southern Districts changed their name again, this time to North Perth.
East Perth player James Washbourne was captain coach of the side in 1955, coaching them to a flag. Washbourhne also won the B Grade competition Fairest and Best award.
Fred Castledine played in the first game of 1955, and Brian Thirley also played 1 game for North Perth in 1958.

There was Hellenic based in North Perth.Played Ammos in the 1970's-80's-90's.
North Perth once had a pennant grade cricket side now up in Joondalup. Never remember a NP ammo side or even junior's

Hellenics played from 1953 to 1963 in the Sunday NFL. Some of their coaches included Don Porter, James Washbourne and Ray Schofield.
Hellenics won 2 flags in the SNFL. At the end of 1963 they owed the SNFL 100 pounds which they were uanble to pay, and were disaffiliated from the league. The joined the Sunday FA, which there isnt a lot of information about. When that competition wound up in the early 1970s, Hellenics joined the Amateurs.
