Default 14 inch c1910 baseball plate

Posted By: CarltonHendricks

Thank you all for your comments. Rob Fouch, you are right there is a wide variety. Finding things never seen before is one of the greatest things about the hobby.

Germany sure did capitalize on baseball early on. It seems they found a subject that sold well in the United States and started pump'n out stuff. There's this plate, plus the one below it which I think was produced in Vienna, same region as Germany, then there's the c1890 bisque Huebach baseball statues seen in the photo below (courtesy Robert Edward Auctions) Scottland did the same American marketing with their Stevengraphs, the little woven silk pictures. They produced them featuring most every sport including baseball, and what appears to be American football.

I'm still hoping to hear from someone who has a reference on my plate.
