I KNOW Mantle is not prewar but.....
 

Gentlemen:

I know Mantle is not prewar, but I wanted to get this in front of as many eyes as possible and with Leon's blessings I hope he will allow me to post this in a few different sections here on Net 54.

I am asking help to see if anyone has seen this Mantle item before. Sorry, I can't afford a quarter to use in the photo.

The story behind it is that it was found in a carton with other Hartland things marked "Original Hartlands" in the "collection" of an owner of one of the incarnations of the Hartland Company.

As an avid Hartland collector I have never seen or heard of anything like this. It is made of material similar to Hartland statues but is solid not hollow as the statues are.

Hopefully someone here has one or has info about it. If so, or you have questions PLMK

Thanks,

Fred

No, but the eyes and face are perfect for Halloween.

I've never seen anything like it. Good luck finding information.

Just curious, but what makes you think it's Mantle? Does it say so in the back? Maris? I am viewing it from my cell phone, so I only see a small picture.

Looks like Tom Tresh to me.

Joe Jackson?

Steve Sax?

Chuck Knoblauch

Mickey Mantolantern?

No clue, but a neat piece.

It kind of looks like a Moose/Maris hybrid.

Closer to Babe Ruth than "the Mick".
