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

Wow Mike...nice going....that's a major figural...produced by the A.C. Rehberger Company of Chicago...founded in 1912 by Alfred C. Rehberger....I always thought it looked like a young Babe Ruth...Very nice to P/U via BIN...I got mine at a National from Dan Knoll...many moons ago...Congrats, it's one the best BB figurals...Bronze??...doubtful...very well done chestnut bronze colored patina on a thick white metal cast...
