19th Century Bats

Hey Kevin,

We were discussing the smaller catcher to the left of the photo. I really like the Testi statues as well. I have been fortunate enough to acquire the set, (batter, pitcher and catcher), over the years. I'm not sure if you have seen Carlton's website, sportsantiques.com. He is the guru of figural statues. He has pretty much any example to reference on his website. He has been a mentor to me in that regard. He also helped me use ImageShack to upload my photo's on net54. He's a scholar and a gentleman!
