That's a nice figural piece (and pretty rare). I believe it was made in the 1920s or so, and served as either a Paperweight or perhaps just a souvenir Statue. I have seen the Cubs version made as an ashtray as well.

Hope this helps,

Mark -
I enjoy seeing the photos when you post items in your collection.
Always great stuff - outstanding condition (right up my alley) and excellently displayed.

Thanks Jerry! Right back atcha…

I've always appreciated your impeccable taste and great eye for quality. If you're ever up in the Pacific NW (post Coronavirus of course) let me know... would love to grab a drink and give you a tour in-person!

that's interesting. MEARS had a Crosetti bat that was 33 1/2" and 35.6 oz. Is yours close to that?

Yes it’s exactly 33.5 in long. Not sure how much it weighs. Pretty heavy bat though.

Very pleased to add this mounted photo to the Bridges collection. Has anyone else seen a similar photo of other Tigers?

Amazing stuff posted this month. Time to bring this thread back to earth. I have been looking for this "rare" two sided version of the 1971 Willie Stargell Matel Instant Replay disc. I'm likely the only one who has been searching for it. For some unfathomable reason Vic Davalillo was not a favored subject of baseball photographers...go figure! Thankfully he wandered in front of Malcolm Emmons camera during the 1971 season at least once.
