Super cool, Fred. I don’t collect Hartlands and , unfortunately, have nothing to add to the conversation. That said, new discoveries are one thing that keep us collectors “going”! Good luck with your detective work!

Good luck finding the definitive proof, Fred.
These do appear to be "of the era", based on the identical lamp parts and vintage felt bottoms. The big remaining question is whether these were sold commercially. It's also quite possible that these were prototypes made by Hartland (which never made it to market). Similar to the Gibbs Conner pieces that surfaced a few years back. Be sure to let us know if you find any more info!

Hartland Lamps
I do think it is possible Hartland could have produced or planned to produce these additional lamps. Remember that Hartland produced a number of different lamps for their Western figures including Roy Rogers, Matt Dillon, Lone Ranger and I believe Thunderbird. These have a somewhat homemade look to them; certainly not as exacting as the plastic figures, themselves.

Fred - I would get my hands on any 1959 Chicago newspaper sports sections you can find. In the vintage SF papers I have (early Opening Days, 1962 WS, etc.), I often see ads for memorabilia of the day, being sold anywhere from Woolworth's to Macy's.

I found this info on a site
"Additionally, 11 of the figurines (Aaron, Banks, Berra, Fox, Mantle, Mathews, Mays, Minor Leaguer with white base, Musial, Ruth and Spahn) were made with magnets attached to the bottom of each foot which were then accompanied by a small black metal plate that would serve as the base for which the magnets would adhere. The presence of a small hole was intended to allow a nail or screw to be used to then fasten the plate to another surface." ^^^Could this be your statues....maybe they were made to be made into other things like lamps, mantle clocks, etc https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...land-figurines Notice Aparicio is not on the list and he is the only lamp with a toeplate showing.

Not the case, unfortunately. The Magnets on the shoe-bottoms are quite obvious, and have nothing to do with these particular figures (with regard to the way they are adhered to the wood bases).
Good link though! Last edited by perezfan; 11-03-2018 at 06:32 PM.
