New Figural Piece
I'm very happy to have added this figural I've been after for years. It was manufactured in the 20s and 30s and is often found on trophy bases by the Wilson Sporting goods company. It's a heavy bronze piece that is 12 1/2" tall and weighs over 5 lbs. I've always appreciated these figurals for their size combined with fine detail and overall execution by the artist. Many call it the "Walter Johnson trophy". This pitcher does resemble Johnson, but that may be wishful thinking. I acquired it via a B.I.N. on ebay that I couldn't pass up
