I'm the guy who bought the maquette. Actually, there are three pieces, all executed by sculptor Frank Vittor, who did the large Wagner statue that stood outside Forbes Field (and has since followed the Pirates around the city).

Two of the pieces are plastilen, a still-soft clay-like substance. They are a Wagner head and a Wagner bust. The third is plaster, a scaled down version of the final piece. It was a Mastro auction . . . uh . . . 6 or 7 years ago?

They're the highlight of my Wagner collection.
