Baseball Player Lamp

I am not convinced that the "47" refers to the manufacture date. It might, but the overall uniform style looks earlier... especially with the short brim cap.

I was thinking early 1940s, with remote possibility of late '30s. Just my opinion. Of course, if the 47 refers to the date of manufacture, I stand corrected. Either way, it's a very attractive and well-made piece.

Perezfan I only say this because in other forms of pottery this is often the case. Not much way to prove this without knowing the maker. I researched the initials and nothing fits. That leads me to believe this could have been a very small pottery outfit and if that is true than the numerical date would be more likely.

Yeah- you're probably right. No need to "split hairs" on this one, as it's unique and very neat either way.

We may never know what the 47 signifies, but your theory makes the most sense. But the uni does look more like a 1930s style
