Six time all-star Rocco Domenico “Rocky” Colavito was a great slugger and once went an entire season without an error. Vintage (1958-62) Hartland Baseball Statue of Rocky Colavito. Hartland Plastics of Hartland, Wisconsin manufactured a variety of products for different industries and introduced a series of baseball players that sold very well at the concession stands. These ball players made from plastic became the benchmark that all other sports figurines would be compared to. The figurines were approximately 8” high and were made from acetate plastic and painted with acetate based paint that left no “skin.” Thus, the figurines were able to keep a very high definition and superior quality. Colavito was manufactured near the end of the run of production and is harder to find than others. Comes with the bat, original ID tag, booklet, box and price sticker. In EX to Near Mint condition.
