The only remaining fact possibly worth noting is that there are 2 styles of this great piece. The far rarer (and apparently more expensive) of the two has period baseball players etched into 3 sides of the "Baseball" portion.

Very attractive engraving, though I am not sure if it was manufactured this way, or if the former owner had the etching professionally done (after the initial sale). Many period silver items such as Walking Canes, Pitchers and Trophies had professional engraving added at a later date...

That said, here are the two examples, from Legendary's Site...

Lastly, it appears there is a FOOTBALL version. Unfortunately Legendary has no image of it. But the description suggests that it might have been produced by the same company, in identical/matching fashion...
