Lot 388: 1930's Detroit Tigers "Battalion of Death" Copper Plaque
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
A rare find, this ominous copper plaque celebrates this record-holding infield of the late-30’s Detroit Tigers - Greenberg at first, Gehringer at second, Rogell at shortstop, and Owen at third - with impressionistic likenesses and an appropriately chilling “Battalion of Death” at its bottom. We have never seen this before. EX-MT piece measures 12 x 9 ½”.
