1800s Baseball Figural- Chicago Pitcher Statue
I saved the best for last...
This is the rare and desirable Chicago Pitcher Figural Statue. This figural piece (along with the Hartford Batter) was often converted into a Base for Gas Lamps in the 1870s-80s.
A great looking 19th Century Figural Piece that remains in remarkably nice condition. Original Gilt (gold) finish is still vibrant, and remains 95% in tact. There are no condition flaws of significance. Often found with holes drilled in the base, but this one is clean.
A rare opportunity at this price (it typically sells for $550 - $600, when they surface, and most have completely lost the gilt finish). I am doing some "house-cleaning", and need to move some inventory. Best offer over $350 gets it (please email or PM). Please add $11 for secure shipping.
Thanks for looking!
SOLD!
