Baseball and Glove Paperweights and Figures, a Bank, a DeMott Pitcher, Etc.
Lot 297. Baseball and Glove Paperweights and Figures, a Bank, a DeMott Pitcher, Etc. Most of these collectibles involve a baseball or glove. The exceptions are a “Happy Days” bank in the shape of a barrel and a pitcher made mainly from screws by DeMott. The only obvious connection of the bank to baseball is that it and the other items offered here are from Tommy John’s collection. It’s 4” high and vg-ex with the key to the lock on the bottom missing. The DeMott pitcher is 5.25” tall on a 1.25” marble-like base. Nm-m. Several of the baseballs are interesting and attractive. A white glass ball with a 3.25” diameter is a jar. Three balls are similar in size, about 2” in diameter. One is alabaster on a 0.5” base, and another appears to be brass or brass-plated on a base. The third is a salt or pepper shaker. Ex to nm. The largest item is an unburned baseball candle about 6” in diameter; g-vg. There also is a 4” figure with a baseball head; it holds a bat. Two ceramic 5” gloves the same have the appearance of extensive use. Nm. Finally, a Rawlings minor league practice ball has been attached to a handle, turning it into a gavel, a mace, or perhaps a massage device. Eleven mostly offbeat collectibles! Five “Property of Thomas Edward John” labels are included.
Winning Bid $20.
