I was recently contacted by the grandson of the original sculpture on the Detroit Tigers figural piece. My buyer information was given to him by the seller.

He said that his grandfather was the sculptor of the piece and hand painted them himself. When completed he presented the Detroit Tigers front office with one. They told him to immediately stop making them, he wasn't sure exactly why. Because of that the grandfather said he believed he only made 4 of them.

He was surprised to see it on Ebay in the completed listings.

Surprising, and that number seems low. I think we've just about accounted for all 4 of them in this thread alone.

Did he say if the Grandfather also sculpted the Pirates version? There is a virtually identical Pirates piece out there, but with a Pirate figural instead of a Tiger.

I can check with him on the Pirates version. Do you have a photo of it?

Pretty sure the reference to a bread company pegs the tag as a bread tie. I have seen these for the cardinals on the thirties.
