Baseball pitcher statue
I am writing to you because I need information on a metal baseball statue that was given to my husband from his father many years ago. We recently married at 65 and trying to combine two households into one. He had me list some things on eBay, including his baseball statue his father had given him about twenty years. It was originally listed on ebay for $80 or best offer. Within twenty five minutes we had 17 watchers, so I knew immediately something was wrong. I then read all eBay listings for metal statues and found that those with artist signatures were worth substantially more money. My husband looked and the base is signed “A C Rehberger 1929”. I then set out to learn everything I could about our statue. The only thing I came up with was on your forum. There are two statues, one with no base, and one with a base showing it to be a Wilson trophy.
What can any of you tell me about this statue? How many were made? Are they rare, as I am guessing because it has been so hard to find any information? I appreciate any help you baseball fans can give me.
Thank you,
Phyllis
