Measuring an impressive 18 inches high and 9 inches at the widest part of the base, this is a spectacular 1923 figural baseball trophy. The very ornate baseball bat with shield and surrounding wreath design is accompanied by the engraving "Championship Trophy The Press Liberty League Season 1923." Another plaque on the lower level has "Won By" with no further engraving. The base is a solid wood, with brass colored metal pillars around the circumference. The player posed atop of the trophy accounts for about 5 1/2 inches of the total height. There is no maker's mark evident on this trophy though it does appear similar to examples made by Dieges & Clust. The player's bat has a slight bend to it. An amazing collectible!
