Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:17377849 | Original/Reproduction: Original |
| Sport: Baseball | Year: 1941 |
For your consideration, I am offering the 1041 L.L. Rittgers Baseball figurine set.
All three of the figurines are in excellent to near mint condition. There are no major issues with these pieces.
Sculptor Lafayette L. Rittgers produced humorous novelty figurines from 1939-1956 out of his studio in Chicago. By 1941, when this baseball set of three was created, Rittgers employed six individuals to produce and paint his humorous figurines. Rittgers signed and copyrighted his work o...n the shoes. Because the chalkware figurines were each painted by hand, there are slight variations. This baseball theme was copied by other companies, but never quite matched the workmanship of the Rittgers.
This set includes an umpire and two players -- one each from the National and American Leagues.
Delivery tracking and insurance are included in the shipping price.
Thanks for your interest.
