Picked this up on eBay from a gal in Canada. There's been a heap of discussion about this plate on Net54, click this link  14 inch c1910 baseball plate to read all about it. I feel it's from the period it represents because of the hand writing style on the back. Plus Butch & Co, dug up this print here . I think the artist was Hibberd VB Kline. If anyone has any information, please email me at comments@sportsantiques.com thanks -Carlton

c1880 TAPPAN'S BASEBALL 

BAT PERFUME BOTTLE

InCurio600x800.jpg (350178 bytes)

Baseball bat 

perfume bottle

Displayed in curio

Above is a 6 inch tall Tappan's League Bouquet perfume bottle in the shape of a baseball bat. Based on the the rings near the top of the barrel, and the graphics of the label, I'd guesstimate it from the late 1880's. I got this in Hunt Auctions February 20th 2008 monthly auction. David Hunt advised me he's only seen three of these, and it's the first I've seen. David also advised he has one in his collection he paid $750 for which is in worse condition than mine. Researching it I found another that sold in the 2006 Robert Edward Auction in a grouped lot of 28 items LOT #764
