I wonder if they were made by a sculpture club/ art class etc

Haha. I do have the exact same 1934 wards bread tag for the champion cardinals somewhere...will post if I can track it down.

Thanks!!!
 

Happy to say I am the proud owner now of one of these Tiger ash trays. Big thanks to Michael for giving me the opportunity to purchase it. My only issue now is trying to decide what room to display it in.

It looks like it found the perfect home. Congrats!

Thanks for update Stephen!
Enjoy it. Looks like it belongs there:)

Echoing the previous two coments, it's a perfect fit!

Nice display, Stephen.

I really doubt it...

These are a bit more polished/professional looking than an art class or sculpture club could produce. I've seen at least 8 - 10 of these over the years, and they are all pretty uniform/identical in appearance. The biggest mystery is whether the wood bat once resided on all of them, or if some were simply made without it. Many (without the wood bat) have paint chips or pock marks exactly where the Bat would have rested.

There is also a Pittsburgh Pirates version that I used to have (with no wood bat). I sold it for way too cheap a price, and have never seen another one since then. Should've kept it, or at least photographed it I suppose, but didn't realize I'd never see another. :mad:

lots of stuff I wished I took pictures of or thought about getting DVD's made with stuff that went down the tube with a harddrive

Stephen,

Looks great in either area. You have some great items for display and this Tiger piece fits along nicely. Congrats on the pickup.

Stephen,
That looks awesome. Congrats! :)
