 Next
up was a very unusual, very cool, and very rare, table lamp that commemorates
the Philadelphia Athletics winning the 1929 World
Series over the Chicago Cubs. The lamp had a base made up of three
elephants holding up a round ball inscribed "Philadelphia
Athletics - 1929 - World Series", which had a baseball on
top. One of the coolest World Series pieces I've seen. I wonder
what the story behind it is as far as who made it, where it was
sold, if it's one of a kind, and if so who it was made for.
8" tall,
$1,500.00
