What are these statues?
A friend of mine sent me this picture, asking if I knew what they are. They belong to a friend of his.
So, I'm asking for the friend of a friend... I know that I have seen posts about similar items, but they are not really in my realm of collecting. Thanx for any info, Doug |

They are either Rittger statues or an imitation. Not really my area either, but I remember the name.

Thank you both. Because google is my friend, I have uncovered a wealth of info and have passed it on.
Thanx again, Doug |

I'm kind of shocked you didn't know, Doug.

I've seen these over the years with different styles of uniforms and coloring. They generally are priced anywhere from $50-125 each, based on condition, cracks, etc. Sometimes you will see them with just one player and the umpire.
A friend sent me a surprise gift a while back. He saw these figures in an antique shop, but someone had glued them to a piece of quarter-inch shellacked plywood. There is a crack in the back of the neck of the figure on the left. (And personally, I think the placement of the umpire should be in between the players or slightly in front of them.) I think I'm going to eventually drill a hole in the middle of the wood base and make a lamp out of it. |
