Hope this helps

Thanks Mark. I was grasping....

It was a pretty good assumption! It really does look like a "topper" or finial of some kind. But it's just a small statue.... perhaps one of those numerous 1948 releases, to commemorate the Babe upon his passing.

Just a guess (now it's me who's grasping)

Thanks everyone that replied. Sorry so late to respond. I will pass the info on to my brother.

This is from my collection, and the version I have seen most often. I believe these were made after the Babe's passing.
