Lot 991: Turn of the Century Baseball Shaving Mug

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid: $654.36
Price Realized: $781.96
Auction Date:8/28/2006 9:00 PM EST

A stunningly rare piece of early baseball bric a brac, this mug is meticulously hand-painted with a quaint batting scene and period horsehair brush. Below the lip a name has been removed, though the condition of the scene and mug itself are EX-MT. Much of the gold leaf at the base and on the handle, as well as a gold design along the side of the scene, is still mostly intact. It's almost impossible to find antique mugs with a baseball motif like this.
